And keeping up with news events, here's another one from Syria. Ya gotta admire the creative writing.

Hello,

Please is it okay to communicate in English?

My name is Mr. Jak Abdullah Fraam am a Syrian Widower. I desire to transfer a contract sum amounting to $47,500,000.00 USD Million from my country under a very legitimate arrangement. Due to the prolonged civil unrest/war in Syria, as well as the daily life-threatening attacks by ISIS terrorist group the economy has remained
stagnant.

I've already lost my family, my Wife and daughter to the cold hands of death during an attack targeted to end our family. I and my son were not around during the cross fire. we were at the hospital for checkup when the attacked our home killing my beloved Wife and my daughter and setting the house ablaze. I am in tears writing you this mail.She (my late Wife) was a very successful contractor in the oil city of Syria and was privately dealing on gold dust and bars before his untimely death. Expectedly, we jointly has some reasonable amount of money, which I desire to invest in the Real Estate sector, Travel & Tourism, Hotel Management and other interesting sectors in United Arab Emirate.

As you may or may not know, the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union have made it nearly impossible to successfully operate any type of investment here in Syria or to even transfer money from here to other parts of the world. For this reason, I am contacting you in great confidence with the hope that you could help me get this money into any of your nominated bank account anywhere in the world.

Please I would like to know how convenient it might be for you to assist me in this way. The entire capital at my disposal is $47,500,000.00USD Million. I secretly locked up the money in a trunk box and deposited it with the Red Cross here in Damascus. My sincere intention in writing you is to plead with you to kindly accept the money box. This is because we cannot do any bank transfers from here following the war. I am offering you 30% of the total money, 10% will be mapped out for refund of any expenses you incurred in the process of handling this deal and you will also invest the remaining 60% on our behalf for a duration of 10 year with remuneration of 3.5-5% annually from the profit after tax incurred in the investment.

I have to take this chance because I have no other alternative but to trust somebody. I cannot risk my life here to avoid an end to my family lineage.All I have is my only son. He deserves a decent life since I want him to grow up in a peaceful environment.I'm planning of relocating to UAE with my son and invest the money in accordance with law.

I anticipate your positive response and on receipt of your information I will provide you with further details. Please kindly reply me on my personal email address: jakabdulfraam@gmail.com

Yours faithfully,
Mr. Jak Abdullah Fraam
