Following the first Gulf War in 1991, Saddam Hussein authorized for the first time the formation of 
private banks in Iraq. From 1992 until the end of the decade, 17 such 
banks were established. Up until the second Gulf War, however, Saddam prohibited these banks from 
conducting international transactions - including payments, 
remittances, and letters of credit. Now, as Iraq develops a market- driven banking system, these 
restrictions are being reduced and the importance of Iraq's private banks 
is expected to grow significantly. 

An important step was taken on October 28, 2003, when the Central Bank of Iraq 
authorized Iraq's private banks to process international payments, remittances and foreign currency 
letters of credit. This action follows other important steps taken 
recently to modernize Iraq's banking system - the establishment of a new national currency, for 
instance, and the launching of daily foreign exchange auctions by the 
Central Bank. 
 
My branch was raided by members of the Republican forces as they were fleeing Baghdad and got my 
deputy Mr. Muhammad K, killed during the process as he failed to 
produce the keys to the strong finance room on time. After their sudden disappearance we decided to 
take advantage of that ample opportunity to over invoice the total 
sum raided from the bank as well as help ourselves by packaging a sufficient total sum to our 
private pause. I and some of my colleagues who are involved in this deal 
have agreed to sort you a certain percentage as you help us in receiving the fund.

Subsequently, I personally was able to hide away some very good amount in to the tune of Millions 
in US$ in the wake of the United States of American led war on Iraq. 
This money was meant for investments but it is believed that we have lost this money to looters 
during the War in Iraq. Since after the war, I have safely tucked away this 
money with the hope that I will be able to do something with it as soon as things cool down. Now 
intend to do so. 

I just need that I get you as my reliable foreign partner who will, as it is be my representative 
and foreign partner. This money has been flown out of Iraq to a destination I 
will make known to you. All relevant documents of the flight/transportation are intact. All that is 
needed is that I give you a power of attorney to contact the freight 
company and of course the person who assisted me with the flight to release this consignment to 
you. Please, you have to know that this is a ?brotherly? issue and I 
expect that you will assist me so that I could get my life back. I need a person I could rely on. 
Can I rely on you? Can I trust you to work with me on this? Please do get 
back to me on adnan_hasan01@yahoo.com 

Faithfully,
