Dear H. Liu,

Naturally, my letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not
met, permit me however, to introduce myself. I am Ms. Koh Yong-Shik,
female 35 years old and a korean from North
Korea.

I was recruited as an immigrant worker by an Arab-American, to work with
him in a fiduciary
agency operated by the Arab-American in Iraq. The fiduciary agency act
as fiduciary agent on
behalf of top Iraq officials mainly from the petroleum industry who
smuggle oil out of Iraq as a result of the oil embargo placed on Iraq
after the 1990 gulf war, prohibiting Iraq from oil trade, therefore the
government of Iraq was only able to exchange oil for food and medicine.

Uknown to many, the Iraqi officials were involved in smuggling oil and
sell to buyers from Asia, Europe, the Carribean and largely from Africa.
The fiduciary agency help receive payments from the buyers who as a laid
down rule deposite payments in sealed security trunk boxes and deposit
the trunks with a diplomatic parcel company. The fiduciary agency then
calls up for the delivery of the trunk boxes and received them from the
parcel company on behalf of the Iraqi officials. This is done to prevent
inter-bank transactions to avoid monitoring by outside authorities. When
this trunks come into our office, it is my duty to open the trunks,
remove the money and inspect them before they are finally handed over by
my boss to the Iraqi officials.

Due to the ongoing american led war in Iraq, we at the fiduciary agency
have all abandoned
office as there is fear everywhere and heavy bombing by the millitary.
My boss the Arab-
american is no where to be found, and on the third day of the war, I
received news that he was killed by some arabs while trying to escape
from Iraq, while I have taken refuge with a peasant Iraqi family.

I am writing to you to solicit for your help. The issue is that a major
west african buyer of smuggled oil from the Iraqi officials, who
purchased oil some days before the war has packaged payment in two
security trunk boxes and deposited them with the parcel company awaiting
delivery instruction from the fiduciary agency here in Iraq, but due to
the ongoing war, and the unfortunate death of my late boss and I am now
in hidding as a refugee and cannot allow this trunks sent into Iraq at
this time.

Seeing the great opportunity to make good money here, I called the
parcel company and
asked them to delay delivery of the trunk boxes, unitl I forward to them
a new delivery address outside of Iraq, but they inform me that my boss
who unknown to them is now late have already paid them to make delivery
on the 20th of March 2003 and that if the delivery is delayed the only
option is that they will have to put the trunks into their bonded
warehouse where it will attract dumorage until I provide the new
delivery address and I told them that this will be no problem, as I will
send them a new delivery address soonest.

I humbly request that you permit me to send your name and address to
Parcel Company in
West Africa, so that the two trunks (containing the payment in total sum
of US$73,200,000.= will be sent directly by the parcel Company to your
address in your country so that you can receive it for safe keeping,
pending when I am able to visit you as soon as the war is over and
receive my share of the money. Your share for helping me will be 50%.

Upon receiving your approval, I will provide you with all the
information on the consignment, including the consignment code numbers,
so that you will contact the parcel Company directly for confirmation.

Please, if you are willing to assist me, do forward to me in your
response the following details below, so that I can pass this over to
the parcel Company:

1. YOUR COMPLETE NAME OR COMPANY NAME
2. YOUR COMPLETE ADDRESS
3. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER

I will appreciate that if you will do this with me, that you treat every
aspect of this matter in strict privacy and never reveal the content of
the trunks to anyone, so that no one plans against boxes when they
arrive your address.

Thanks, while I await your very urgent response. Please, your response
should be sent to my fastest email below:

KOH SONG-SHIK
