It had to happen. Nigeria is old hat now.

Greetings,

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, which is of mutual benefit. This is by virtue of its nature of being utterly Confidential. I am sure and have confidence of
your ability, and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude.

In the past 4 months, I have employed very diligent bureaucratic means to divorce US$150,000,000 (one hundred and fifty million U.S. Dollars) in cash, from the personal
financial reserve of president Saddam Hussein- in Iraq and the Middle East. My strategic position in the black market oil dealings of my country and my relationship with corresponding key officials in the Governments of Iraq and the Middle East has afforded me the opportunity to sell Iraqi Oil to buyers in the "Black market" behind the U.S & U.N Sanctions and payment
is made in cash only.

With the days of Saddam Hussein in power numbered, my partners and I have decided to secure our future financially and flee the country as soon as the war starts. Further more my
communications with you will be limited to emails only, to avoid been caught by Iraqi security officials, as we will face the instant death sentence if caught. If you must know we all
live in fear of the draconian power of Saddam Hussein.
