GEORGE WALKER BUSH 202.456.1414 / 202.456.1111 FAX: 202.456.2461<BR><BR>DEAR SIR
/ MADAM,<BR><BR>I AM GEORGE WALKER BUSH, SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF<BR>AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, AND CURRENTLY SERVING AS
PRESIDENT OF<BR>THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS LETTER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
BECAUSE WE HAVE<BR>NOT MET NEITHER IN PERSON NOR BY CORRESPONDENCE. I CAME TO
KNOW OF YOU IN MY<BR>SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE A VERY
CONFIDENTIAL<BR>BUSINESS TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF A HUGE SUM
OF MONEY TO<BR>AN ACCOUNT REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.<BR><BR>I AM WRITING YOU
IN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE PRIMARILY TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN<BR>ACQUIRING OIL
FUNDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. MY<BR>PARTNERS AND I
SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING A TRANSACTION BEGUN BY<BR>MY FATHER, WHO
HAS LONG BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE EXTRACTION OF PETROLEUM<BR>IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA,AND BRAVELY SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS DIRECTOR<BR>OF THE UNITED
STATES CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.IN THE DECADE OF THE<BR>NINETEEN-EIGHTIES, MY
FATHER, THEN VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF<BR>AMERICA, SOUGHT TO WORK
WITH THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE<BR>REPUBLIC OF IRAQ TO REGAIN LOST
OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING<BR>ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THIS
UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURE WAS SOON FOLLOWED BY A<BR>FALLING-OUT WITH HIS IRAQI
PARTNER, WHO SOUGHT TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL OIL<BR>REVENUE SOURCES IN THE
NEIGHBORING EMIRATE OF KUWAIT, A WHOLLY-OWNED<BR>U.S.-BRITISH
SUBSIDIARY.<BR><BR>MY FATHER RE-SECURED THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF KUWAIT IN 1991
AT A COST OF<BR>SIXTY-ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($61,000,000,000). OUT OF
THAT<BR>COST,THIRTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000,000) WERE SUPPLIED BY
HIS<BR>PARTNERS IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER PERSIAN GULF
MONARCHIES,<BR>AND SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) BY GERMAN AND
JAPANESE<BR>PARTNERS. BUT MY FATHER'S FORMER IRAQI BUSINESS PARTNER REMAINED IN
CONTROL<BR>OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ITS PETROLEUM RESERVES.<BR><BR>MY FAMILY
IS CALLING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING THE REMOVAL OF<BR>THE PRESIDENT
OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ACQUIRING THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF<BR>HIS COUNTRY, AS
COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVING HIM FROM POWER.<BR>UNFORTUNATELY, OUR
PARTNERS FROM 1991 ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN<BR>OF THIS NEW
VENTURE, WHICH IN ITS UPCOMING PHASE MAY COST THE SUM OF 100<BR>BILLION TO 200
BILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000,000 -$200,000,000,000), BOTH IN<BR>THE INITIAL
ACQUISITION AND IN LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT. WITHOUT THE FUNDS FROM<BR>OUR 1991
PARTNERS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE OIL REVENUE TRAPPED<BR>WITHIN
IRAQ. THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES ARE URGENTLY SEEKING<BR>YOUR
GRACIOUS ASSISTANCE. OUR DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES IN THIS
BUSINESS<BR>TRANSACTION INCLUDE THE SITTING VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF<BR>AMERICA, RICHARD CHENEY,WHO IS AN ORIGINAL PARTNER IN THE IRAQ VENTURE
AND<BR>FORMER HEAD OF THE HALLIBURTON OIL COMPANY, AND CONDOLEEZA RICE,
WHOSE<BR>PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION TO THE VENTURE WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE NAMING
OF A<BR>CHEVRON OIL TANKER AFTER HER. I WOULD BESEECH YOU TO TRANSFER A SUM
EQUALING<BR>TEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (10-25 %) OF YOUR YEARLY INCOME TO OUR
ACCOUNT TO<BR>AID IN THIS IMPORTANT VENTURE. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF THE
UNITED<BR>STATES OF AMERICA WILL FUNCTION AS OUR TRUSTED INTERMEDIARY. I PROPOSE
THAT<BR>YOU MAKE THIS TRANSFER BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH (15TH) OF THE MONTH OF
APRIL. I<BR>KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD MAKE ANYONE
APPREHENSIVE AND<BR>WORRIED. BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE
END OF THE DAY.<BR>A BOLD STEP TAKEN SHALL NOT BE REGRETTED, I ASSURE YOU.
PLEASE DO BE<BR>INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS 100% LEGAL. IF YOU DO
NOT WISH TO<BR>CO-OPERATE IN THIS TRANSACTION,PLEASE CONTACT OUR
INTERMEDIARY<BR>REPRESENTATIVES TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE MATTER. I PRAY THAT YOU
UNDERSTAND<BR>OUR PLIGHT. MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE FOREVER
GRATEFUL.<BR><BR>PLEASE REPLY IN STRICT CONFIDENCE TO THE CONTACT NUMBERS
BELOW.<BR><BR>SINCERELY WITH WARM REGARDS, GEORGE WALKER
