Subject: Let work this out with you

Dear,
It is not my intention to introduce myself to you through this unconventional means, but my considerations were based on speed, reliability and trust. I got your email from the online data base. I personal assistant and advisor to Mrs. Ghanem, wife of Shukri Ghanem, the former Libyan prime minister and oil minister who was found dead in Vienna last year. I write you to help in assisting to repatriate the sum of $18.2M United States dollars deposited with a coded number with a security company in Malaysia in 2010, by Shukri Ghanem who was then oil minister of LIBYA on behalf of Mrs. Ghanem. He is late now. Since his death his wifae have assigned me to assist her get full and legal ownership and access to the money with the security company which can only be possible through a third party who is not known to the family or have any ties with the family because Shukri Ghanem did not enlist any of his family members as beneficiary which he did to hide the money from the government of Libya.
Mrs. Ghanem has the code numbers of the fund lodgments which was done in two installments of $8m and $10.2m.We now need someone who will travel to Malaysia as business consultant to Mr. Shukri Ghanem to meet with the security company. We have assigned a lawyer in Malaysia and he has discussed with the security company on transfer agreement of the lodged fund and the modalities of transfer of ownership has been discussed and agreed upon.
What we need you to do is to travel to Malaysia, meet the lawyer for change of ownership in your name after which the lawyer will take you to the security company for delivery of the lodged fund to you. With the change of ownership the money will be released to you and then you will in turn lodge the money for Mrs. Ghanem under her name. The cost for processing the legal change of ownership is $18,000 and we need you to finance it because Mrs. Ghanem cannot foot the bills now.
She has agreed that you shall have 15% of the total $18.2M which you shall deduct before lodgments of the remaining fund to her name according to instructions that will be released to you after you have received the money. You shall also deduct the sum of $230,000.00 only to be given to the lawyer for his legal fees which you shall released to him when you are in custody of the $18.2m.
If you can assist Mrs. Ghanem let me know immediately you received this message by sending me your full names, age and marital status, residential address and phone number so I will give you further details and introduce you to the lawyer who will process the legal change of ownership. It is important I let you know that this information and transfer arrangement should be kept strictly confidential from anybody whatsoever in order to protect all parties involved.
Though i write you hoping we can work together on this. However if you are not capable please do let me know so i look for alternatives as i do not have much time on this.

Until i hear from you.
Ali Saleem
