Good day.My name is Ryan Brandon, an ex-US marineofficer , now working with one of the internationalagencies in Iraq which I will tell you later . I needyour assistance in moving the sum of{ Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.$4.5m} out of Iraq for investmentsin your country or any other country of your choice .This money is not a stolen fund nor related to moneylaundering or drug money and there is no risk involvedas all loop holes that may lead to any trace have beensealed and made sure that coast is very clear beforecontacting you , my priority is to see that the moneyis well invested and my share kept safely until Icomplete my mission . This is how I got the money , we discovered ahuge sum of money which was well concealed in barrelswith piles of weapons and ammunitions at a locationnear one of Saddam’s old palaces during one of ourrescue operations . It was agreed by all partiespresent that the money be shared amongst us, this wasquite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what ? nocompensation can make up for the risks we have takenwith our lives in this hell of a hole. The abovefigure was given to me as my share, and to concealthis kind of money became a problem for me, so withthe help of a British contact working here and hisoffice enjoys some immunity, I was able to get thepackage out to a safe location entirely out of troublespot. He does not know the real contents of thepackage, and believes that it belongs to anAsian/American who died in an air raid, and beforegiving up, trusted me to hand over the package to hisbusiness associate. I have now found a secured way of getting thepackage out to a safer country for you to pick it up,and will discuss this with you when I am sure that youare willing to assist me. One passionate appeal I willmake to you is not to discuss this matter with a thirdparty, should you have reasons to reject this offer,please destroy this mail as any leakage of thisinformation will be too bad for us. I do not know howlong we will remain here, I have survived threesuicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, thisand other reasons I will mention later has prompted meto reach out for help, I honestly want this matter tobe resolved immediately. Please contact me as soon as possible.
Regards.

("REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS) (CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliments Of The Season,Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.I got your contact from the proffesional data base found in the internet Yahoo tourist search.When i was searching for a foreign reliable partner.I assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity. After series of prayers/fasting.i was divinely directed to contact you among other names found in the data base Yahoo tourist search.I believe that God has a way of helping who is in need. I am (Hansin Omar),the Head of file Department in African development bank (ADB). In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Monday 31st July 2000) in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,and 60% would be for me and my woman colleague.
That means ($6 million) six million dollars for you,and ($9 million) nine million dollars for me and my partner.There after i will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is risk free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Your's faithfully,
HANSIN OMAR. (phone +226 76439020.)
