Subject: Can we work togetherr
Dear friend,
Please read this open with an open mind as your decision to help us will save the lives and legacy of my family.
My name is Mohammed from Idlib, a city in Northwestern part of Syria.
I know this is quite an unconventional method of contacting you especially since we do not know each other personally but my country is in war and is in chaos and everybody trying to survive by any means necessary.
My beautiful city Idlib is one of the last standing opposition cities to our evil President and it is an obvious fact now that a serious offensive and attack from the Assad government is imminent.
Everybody is trying to run away but the borders to Turkey has been closed and the processes to leave Syria has become very tight. I and my family can either make it to Syria or Jordan.
But the reason why I am contacting you is because I have sold and put together all our assets into cash and urgently wants to move the fund out to a citizen of an overseas country. My family is a long line of doctors from my grand father and we have amassed quite a fortune in assets. As the first son and patron of our family it is my duty to safeguard our wealth. Therefore if you will be kind enough to give a helping hand I will want you to take ownership of these funds until I and my family find our way out of Syria. I want to invest the funds into real estate in your country or in your company and preferably I will like to settle with my family in your country. For your efforts to help us I going to offer you some percentage from the funds, if you can safely receive this money and safeguard it until we all can get out of Syria as I am not leaving without all the members of my family.
May you be blessed as you think about this and get back to me very urgently.
Sincerely,
Mohammed Habib
