Taking advantage of a unclear situation

After the first Iraqi fraudmails where in circulation, where the Hussein brothers were used to set up a story about transfering family money out of Iraq, there is a new one received today.

This time the story is, because of financial restrictions on money transfers out of Iraq, Ahmed Mujid is looking for a person who can act as a contractor. That way he can transfer cash out of Iraq for investment elswhere.

As usual they are using a freemail contact e-mail address, this time from "ameinfo.com", an Arab portal service based in the United Arab Emirates. The e-mail was sent from Ahmed Mujid [ahmedmujid@yahoo.ie].

Here's the e-mail text:

Dear Sir,

I solicit for my Clients (a group of foreign contractors in Iraq).We are interested in your
collaboration on movement of large sums of funds from Iraq (due to the security cituation) for investment.

The first transaction will be for the movement of about Seven million United States Dollars form an Iraqi bank.

Due to the crack down on Al Qaeda and it's financiers large payment of such can only be authorized by Iraqi Central bank if they are paid out as payment for purchase,to a Foreign contractor or investment.

If you accept to participate in this transaction,we shall then state the terms,conditions and remunerations.

You will also be required to submit to us your full contact;your company or individual name and address,Bank and account that you norminate for the transfer.

For the avoidance of doubt,your norminated account for this transaction should be of zero value(i.e no money in the account),this is to satisfy that no one entertains any fear of giving out information that may lead to lost of money.
