Mr Narmin Othman Jamal Al-Karbouli
28th King Abdulaziz St.
Riyadh 11415,
Saudi Arabia.
Hello my dear Friend,
My greetings to you and your family.
I wish to apologize for any inconveniences this proposal may cause you as we
have never met or known each other before.
I am Mr Narmin Othman Jamal Al-Karbouli,an Iraqi National from the northern
Kurdish town of Diyala,and former member of the Iraqi interim Government
after the ouster of Saddam Hussein.I am presently living in exile in Riyadh
Saudi Arabia after the assassination of my wife and children by the Mehdi
Army militia,Led by Muqtada al-Sadr.
My purpose of sending this message is to solicit for your assistance to help
me transfer the sum of seven million five hundred thousand US
dollars(US$7.5M) that I deposited with a finance and security company in
London,UK.Due to the political crisis in my country and my present status,I
am unable to secure entry visa to travel to London to collect the funds.This
is the reason why I am soliciting for your help to transfer the funds to
your custody, until I can come and meet you in your country.I intend
relocating to your country and using the funds for investment purposes in
your country.
I am offering you (US$1.8 Million) 25% of the funds as
compensation/commission for your assistance.75% of the money is for me,
whereas 5% of it shall be used to take care of overall expenses incurred in
the course of the transaction.Though there are still rooms for more
negotiations on this.
I will send to you all the relevant documents covering the transaction and
also give you Power of attorney to receive the funds on my behalf as the
TRUSTEE.
For security reasons,please reply to my alternative email id:
myofficemail9999@mail.ru
Please treat with utmost urgency and confidentiality.
Kind Regards,
Mr Narmin Othman Jamal Al-Karbouli
