Dear Sir,

Greeting from Baghdad.

I am Mrs. Saleemah Qasim from Iraq. I am writing this letter to plead for assistance in the transfer of funds.

Since the execution of my husband, Late Mohammed Qasim, a former deputy secretary-general of banned Ba’ath Party of Iraq of the Saddam Hussein regime, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by this present administration. Security agents in Iraq have subjected me to constant physical and psychological torture. My only son was arrested and jailed for an offence he did not commit. As a widow, that is so traumatized, I have lost hope and confidence in everyone within the country.

This government had seized assets and confiscated money in different banks abroad of members of the Baath Party and executed senior Army officers who were in Saddam Hussein regime. Some willingly gave up their secrets and disclosed money confidently lodged with them and many out-rightly declined lodgement. The Government confiscated funds over $650 million dollars and still not relented in its efforts to completely bring the families connected to Saddam Hussein’s regime back to nothing. This is why I deemed it necessary to act fast by contacting anybody abroad for assistance to move our funds out of the country.

Furthermore, due to the security network placed on my daily activities I cannot afford to visit any embassy for assistance, hence I decided to contact anyone abroad through this medium. I want to urgently move our funds abroad and relocate with my family to your country. I do hope you will be the person Allah is going to use to rescue my family and I.


Before my husband was arrested and executed, he deposited sum of $21 million dollars in a bank in Iraq whose bank name is withheld for now for security reasons until we fully commence communication. Now I want to move the money out of this country and secure for investment purpose. We have made arrangement for the safe transfer of the funds. It is totally risk free. The arrangement would be known to you and my grandson (who will be contacting you on behalf of the family). My grandson writes and speaks fluently English language.

Once you are interested by responding to this letter, we will provide you a direct telephone number to further discuss this transaction. For your kind assistance, you will be entitled to 10% of the total sum and the balance would be invested on our behalf.


I will appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. I look forward to receiving your urgent reply to my plea.

Best regards,

Hajia Saleemah Mohammed Qasim
