Dear Sir,

My name is Ms Jumai Abdullah, a national of Republic of Libya and a former director of accounts with the former government of Libya under the leadership of Late Col Gadhafi.   I am seeking your assistance to partner with me to secure the funds ($52M) kept in the custody of a finance house here in Luxemburg by one of Gadhafi's family members.  Being a close confidant to the family, I am privy to a deposit made by a Gadhafi's family member during the start of the hostilities back in Libya.  The deposit was not done in their name as they are aware of the mandate of the UNITED NATIONS to all financial institutions around the world to report any funds belonging to their family.  I have all necessary details and contacts of claim to the funds as I am directly involved in the deposit.  All I need to do is to move the funds out of its present place in your name to your account.  This process will not cost you any money upfront.  I decided to do this because I have no intention of returning back to Libya as I have been blacklisted as a prominent kitchen cabinet of the Gadhafi government therefore I am currently in self-exile here in Luxemburg.  I will give your details when I receive your response.  I will ensure all procedures to see the successful completion of this project.  Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free.   Upon the completion of this transaction, you will transfer 70% of the funds to the account i will provide to you while 30% will be for you.   My fax number is +35224611278.  You can also reach me through my private email - - - jumai@repoflibya.com or private phone +35220880758.  Please keep this vey confidential.   Let me know if you will be of assistance.

My regards

Jumai Abdullah
