BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP. It may surprise you to receive this e-mail from me, especially when we haven't had any previous dealings. However I contacted you through this means because I received encouraging information about you. Secondly, I am using this means so that my personality can be sheilded until I am sure of your willingness to assist me in achieving the purposes of this business which will be of a high benefit to you and to my family. I am Lieutenant Colonel Salem O. Ahmad Military Commander of POLISARIO(Political Front for the Liberation of Western Sahara) and a member of council of the National Secretariat of Western Sahara(Saharawi Democratic Republic). Prior to my promotion to this rank/command, I was the second in command to the former military Commander General Sahid Adbelahib. He was however killed in battle in early January. THE PURPOSE OF CONTACTING YOU: The struggle for the liberation of the Saharawi people from the strong grip of Morocco and it's despotic government, haszaenjoyed funding from private, religious and corporate organizations around the world, people and organizations recognizes our struggle. These organizations are the ones who assist/aid POLISARIO with funds and materials in execution of this war with Morocco. Before the death of my former Military commander(General Adbelahib), we were given some funds(US$38,000,000.00) by an international solid mineral multi-national company donor to procure ammunitions for POLISARIO. My boss moved and deposited these funds with a private security/finance company in Europe. In my bid to audit our quarterly accounts I realized that the records of the $38Million was not reflected in the books. As I continued my private investigation I unclosed the source of these funds. I found out that it was my boss who delete every record of this larges from the accounting books because his intentions is to keep this particular funds for himself. I called him to a meeting(two of us) over this issue - that was in March last year. He told me at the meeting that the funds as part of the donations POLISARIO(Political Front for the Liberation of Western Sahara) get year in and year out is to be kept for his use and the future of his family since the future of the survival of the struggle is uncertain. I saw his reasons and readily agreed with him because he promised me a good fraction of the money there and then, especially when I know that the money will never have a record trace ever. However, as fate may have it General Adbelahib died at the wafront and I became the military commander in Feburary 2nd. And in addition to that the only only person on earth who has previlege of knowing the information of this cash deposit. I have all the relevant documents pertaining to this deposit. I now want to claim this funds knowing fully well that I have all the relating documents needed to claim these funds.
