DEAR SIR
YOU MAY BE SUPRISED HOW I GOT HOLD OF YOUR MAIL ADDRESS.I GOT IT FROM YOUR COUNTRY'S BUSINESS DIRECTORY HERE IN MY COUNTRY.I AM WRITING THIS PROPOSAL WITH THE UTMOST BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL TREAT THIS WITH ALL THE CONFIDENIALITY IT REQUIRES AND WITH GREAT TRUST OF YOUR SINCERITY DURING AND AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THIS DEAL.

MY NAME IS DR Ahmed Abdulsalam CHIEF ACCOUNTANT GENERAL OF THE EMBASSY OF REPUBLIC OF IRAQ UNDER THE DEPOSED SADDAM HUSSEIN IN SOUTH AFRICA. AS YOU ARE AWARE MY COUNTR WAS A STUNCH SUPPORTER OF SADDAM HUSSEIN BECUASE OF THE ROLE HE PLAYED DURING THE APARTHEID ERA.THIS IS WHY OUR COUNTR SOUTH AFRICA
GAVE SADDAM HUSSEIN EVRY LOGISTIC HELP THEY COULD RENDER TO HIM DURING HIS REIGN.


AS THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL I WAS IN POSITION TO KNOW WHERE AND HOW ALL THE HARD CURRENCIES THAT CAME INTO THE EMBASSY AND HOW THEY WERE DEPOSITED. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF IRAQI MONEY FLOATING IN MY COUNTRY'S APEX BANK AND COMMERCIAL BANKS. BUT THERE IS THIS PARTICULAR ONE WHICH I WOULD LIKE A FOREIGNER TO HELP ME SO THAT WE CAN TRANSFER IT OUTSIDE SOUTH AFRICA. IT WAS 45 MILLION US DOLLARS WHICH WAS MAPPED OUT FOR A NEW EMASSY HOUSE IN PRETORIA UNDER A GHOST NAME HASSAN MUHAMED.AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS NAME DOES NOT EXIST.


IT WAS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ME AND THE FORMER AMBASSADOR TO LEAVE THIS MONEY WHEN IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT USA WAS GOING TO OUTSED SADDAM HUSSEIN. THIS MONEY IS NOW FLOATING IN THIS ACCOUNT WHICH I AND THE AMBASSADOR KNOW ABOUT.AS IT IS NOW HE HAS LEFT THE COUNTRY FOR FEAR OF BEING TRACKED DOWN BY
U.S AGENTS MAKING ME THE SOLE PERSON AWARE OF THIS MONEY. ALL I WANT FROM YOU IS TO PROVIDE THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION WHERE THIS MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERD TOWITHOUT IMPLICATING ME.AS FOR YOUR TROUBLES YOU WILL GET 25% OF THE TOTAL SUM AFTER THE TRANSACTION WHILE 10%IS FOR ANY CONTIGENCIES THAT MAY
ARISE.THE REMIANING 65% WILL BE FOR MY INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY OF WHICH YOU WILL BE A PATNER.
YOU ARE FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION.THIS DEAL IS RISK FREE AS I KNOW PEOPLE IN THIS BANK TO MAKE THE TRANSFER EASY.

WAITING PATIENTLY FOR YOUR REPLY

YOURS

I love how the name is lower case, like it was added in by a stupid bot. You should feel special.

this is so old,
can't remember the original country it was started as, but has been circulating for several years in the guise of several different:
generals, accountants, diplomats, corporations etc and countries for quite some time. always the same story.
some country was overthrown, and some group needs "YOUR" help getting 20, or 27 million or sobucks out of some account, but they need you to give them your account info so it can be transfered to your account and then they will give you a 10 percent cut or something similar amount. if you do it they drain your account and/or kidnap your dumb ass and hold you for ransom when you goto bogota or where ever to get your cut.

It's another variation of the infamous "Nigerian" email scam. The sad thing is that people have actually been dumb enough to fall for it.

The ignorance of some people truly is amazing. If the scam was legit and the money was transferred to their bank account, how long do you think it wuld take for the FBI or Treasury Agents to be knocking on their door? They would have to prove that the money wasn't from a drug deal and even then the money would be confiscated because IT DOESN'T BELONG TO THEM OR THE AHOLES WHO SENT IT TO THEM.

My father got one of these about six years ago, except that instead of Saddam, it was lost treasure in the Congo. :p

The really sad part is that some people will send this guy their bank account #.
