My Dear ,

Thanks for your response to my proposal. I am Dr. Mrs.Maya Assad, a medical practitioner from Damascus, Syria. I am in an urgent need of an individual abroad who is willing to help me invest in your country, the amount involve is US$7,000,000.00; Any investment you think that is profitable in your country will be considered and also writing to seek your assistance to help me and my two young kids achieve our aim of relocating out of Syria to your country because we are presently in a refugee camp with two kids.

We are very responsible people who have the aim to invest in your country as we have the financial strength to do so. But my major concern is that we do not want to be faced with the treatment of being treated as refugees or second class citizens which so many Syrian business people who traveled out without making right contacts or proper arrangements are faced with, .

Due to this fact, I sincerely seek your assistance and partnership as our foreign partner who will direct and manage the affairs of our investments which we will partner with you in your home country. Even we are ready to part 30% of all the proceeds of investment to you so that you feel comfortable securing our interest.

Just a quick note, for now, I will tell you more about the investment in my next email.

I look forward to hearing from you as I will also need your assistance in helping us purchase a living house and as well get a good school where my children will continue with their educational careers.

Best Regards.
Mrs. Maya Assad

I am ready to partner with you in any profitable business of your choice, in fact I really want to establish a relationship like friendship and business partner that will lead to good in future, I will be happy if you can tell me a little about yourself and your family.

I am a Gynecologist & obstetrician, I works with Damascus Hospital before the Syria crisis started, currently I and my kids are in Bab Al Salaam refugee camp between Syria and Turkey, we heard rumor that there will be another Chemical air strike attack by next month that is why i am in an urgent need to move the funds to your account so that you will help us facilitate our movement out of Syria to your country.

And in order for you to know me, I attached a copy of my picture, my two kids pictures and my International passport for your perusal. I want you to tell me little about yourself, your occupation,position, marital status and your ID. Like I informed you in my last mail, we are reliable and we have enough financial strength to invest in your country, of course we will also need your assistance in helping us buy a living house and make good arrangements for school where my daughters will complete their educational career, any area you know is good for us will be great.

Please let us trust ourselves and be good to each other, I can assure you if you are good to us, you will benefit greatly including financially and I myself will personally show you appreciation because once we have known each other and have understanding then we go ahead with remitting our funds to you ahead of our arrival so that we can be rest assured that we will never suffer or lack when we have leave Syria.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My Dear xxx,

I am so happy to receive your good response with a good introduction of your very self and you really have a wonderful family. I appreciate your willingness to help me invest in your country. My children are happy after reading your message. I want you to understand that this is real and 100% risk free. Attached is the deposit certificate of the funds for your record purposes.

I have accepted you and I am willing to work with you as a partner and investment manager to invest in your home town, you are the only hope I have now and I believe that you will not let me down in future. This fund belongs to my late husband. He was a crude oil businessman which he deposited $7Million(Seven Million United States Dollars) with the Commercial bank of Syria before he died, he was killed in a bomb blast.

As I told you in my previous email we are presently in a refugee camp and we do not have access to do anything except using the computer room if the security allows us. we are suffering here, all I need for you to help us, receive our fund and help us relocate to your country so we can start all over again to be able to put my children back to school, All my plans is as soon as the funds are transferred to you, you will facilitate my move into Turkey through the border between Turkey and Syria because currently, we are at the Bab Al Salaam refugee camp between Syria and turkey. I have made an arrangement with some top Military personnel who will help me and my children move us into Turkey where we can process our traveling documents.

I have forwarded your information to the bank(Commercial Bank of Syria) letting them know that you are my family fund and investment manager, I made them understand that you have every right to receive the funds on my behalf for our future investment.

More so, due to the urgency required to move the funds out of the country for investment, the Commercial Bank of Syria said they will respond back to me tomorrow and update me with the procedure through which they will transfer the US$7Million to you successfully, note that Syria banks are not allowed to transfer funds outside the country due to the Crisis going on, so i am hoping for goods news from the bank on the procedure through which the funds will be release to you.

I will wait to hear from you as soon as you receive this message and I will also update you tomorrow as soon as I receive a response from the bank.

Respond to me if you receive this message

Best Regards,
Your Sister Maya
