> Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am MR. SADDAM HUSSEIN, a former government official in
> Baghdad. Unfortunately, due to a coup, our Benevolent Administration was usurped in favor of a foreign occupying force,

> However, during my time serving the people of Iraq, I was able to amass a modest Fortune by extracting a processing and
> handling fee from the country's oil revenues, and I also inherited a certain amount of money after the death of my Beloved
> Sons. As it happens, those funds -- currently totalling just over 37 BILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS -- are being held by a
> security company in Geneva. I am unable to leave Tikrit at this time, however, as my mother has cancer and I have to stay
> here and give her the insulin shots, and therefore I cannot retrieve the money personally.

> The Branch Accountant with the First Despot Deposit & Trust Company of Switzerland, a Mr. Terrence J. Wilkinson, has
> informed me that I may move the Monies to another bank Account in America, but I require the help of an American who
> already has such an account so that I may Discretely accomplish this thing. In addition, I have a shipment of certain
> VALUABLE MINERALS acquired from Nigeria, and I need to move these Materials to a more secure location. My previous
> American confidant, Mr. Joseph Wilson, was unable to exercise the necessary Discretion and Secrecy so I have been
> forced to look elsewhere. I am prepared to offer you 10% of my total holdings (3.7 Billion Dollars) as a fee for handling
