Subject: RELY ASAP
Greetings,=20
I am on humanitarian mission of rebuilding Iraq under the UN operating
with the Engineering unit in Baghdad, Iraq, we discovered a stash of
Million US dollars that we want to move out but we need a good partner
we can trust. This fund is=A0 legal. The stash of money with other discover=
ed
currencies in different undisclosable places was abandoned by fleeing
regime leaders in Iraq.some soldiers made away with plenty of the discovere=
d
money.
I will provide you with the proofs of my proposed business investment.
We will=A0 move these funds to your position for an investment purpose
in your country.There is a consolidated arrangement on how the money
will be moved to your custody. But the question is can we trust you
when the funds get to you? You will take your 40% for the assistance
and keep the remaining for us in a safe custody.
Your role is to find a safe place for the funds while our own part is
sending it to you.
