Dear Friend,
Thanks for your mail and for accepting my offer. I apologize for my
late reply, it's due to my duty here. Since your last email to me on
the month of August, I couldn't reply back because my troops were
camping at the road to the jordanian border, that makes it difficult
for me to check my mail.
I have every proof of this transaction only I need your assistance in
smuggling this money out of Iraq. I am ready now to transfer the money
to you. I want you to send your banking details to enable me start
transferring the money.
I will transfer it with the Bank of Baghdad, Iraq. They do
International Transfer. I will not send it at once, I will transfer
$500,000 each transfer. I will inform you on what to do when i finally
transfer the money to you.
I am giving you all the trust and I believe that with the help of
God, we will sucessfully transfer this money out of Iraq. I hope that
one day we will meet each other face to face to start a long lasting
relationship.
Please do not disclose this deal to anybody as to protect my duty
with the US Marine. I took my picture and the money picture which is
in attached file below for your confirmation as you requested. It
wasn't easy for me to do that but I had to because you requested for
it.
Remember, your share still remains the same 50% out of the total
amount of the money. The total amount amount of the money is
$69.8million Dollars.
I will be waiting to hear from you as soon as possible to proceed.
Thanks
Your friend,
Coleman Philip

To: akgaddafi1@rambler.ru
I want to indulge your humble person to read through this letter written
by me.
I am Aisha Gaddafi (Al-Qahsi), the Daughter of late Col. Muammar Gaddafi
former Libya Leader who died on October 20, 2011. I have the believe and
understanding that my late Father's death was masterminded by
international community base on the role my late Father has shown to the
western world over his leadership in our country Libya. They have taken
all that I suffered and saved for since his death including some of my
treasure, houses and bank accounts closed by the new Government.
I want to escape to one of the Caribbean countries to fight for the cause
of my Father's death through one of the world known lawyer, but again they
conspired and seized my international passport and other traveling
documents to further frustrate me. Two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code
(KTC) from one SECURITIES COMPANY, that my deposited U.S $35.7 Million
(Thirty Five Million seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars)
It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact someone, a
foreigner like you to help me receive/secure these funds overseas and to
help invest it on my behalf as well, while I find a way of getting out to
meet with you in your country.
These funds are kept on a CODE with the Securities Company to avoid
detection, seizure or diversion but with a standing order or specific
instruction to release the fund to me in person or my proxy if I am not
able to be there. This is why I have contacted you to help save my
situation, receive these funds on my behalf. But you will need to give me
sufficient assurance that if you help me, you will not divert or abscond
with the funds. I have resolved to give you 25% of the total sum. This is
all I have got to live on. Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and
hope you will not disappoint me.
I will give you the master-plan of the transaction immediately I receive a
favorable response from you. Please, respond only through my confidential
email address: akgaddafi@myself.com
Looking forward to your urgent response.
Best Personal Regards.
Aisha Al-Gaddafi (Al-Qahsi).

READ AND GET BACK TO ME
I want you to patiently read this offer. I am Mrs.Aminata
Abdullahi,the wife to the deceased former Head of Delegation to the
World Bank in West Africa. My husband was the linkman between the
Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC and the
petroleum sector in a West African country. He also attend OPEC
meetings constantly in Geneva before his death caused by cardiac
arrest in our home town.
Through the sale of our allocated oil quota in OPEC, he was able to
make S$8.million.(EIGHT MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS)I want you to
assist me to claim this money as i cannot claim it directly because he
made the deposit as a fund belonging to his business associate in
order not to raise eyebrow since he was a civil servant during that
time, and the code of conduct bureau forbids him or his wife to
acquire such amount of money.
It is on this basis that I am contacting you for assistance, if you
will be interested, claim documents will been processed and sent to
you. The documents with which the fund is deposited will be amended to
reflect you as the beneficiary so that you will be eligible to collect
the fund as his business associate.
You shall be entitled to 30% of the total funds while the rest will be
given to me on arrival in your country for the up keeping of my only
son and for further investment under your kind control there in your
country as I can not be able to do any investment here in West Africa
due to the origin of the said fund.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is risk
free and doesn't have any negative implication. You should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer
of this fund have been finalized. If you can conveniently assure me of
your ability to keep this business very secret and confidential, you
can write back to me for further details.
Expecting your urgent response.
Best regards,
Mrs.Aminata Abdullahi

travelled down to Burkina Faso to withdraw the money so that I can
start a better life and take care of myself.

release to me only when I am married or I should present a trustee who
will help me and invest the money overseas. I have chosen to contact
you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray the trust
