CEO ATLANTIC PETROLEUM LTD lazizmahfouz@netscape.net INTRODUCTION Dear sir, I will like to start by introducing myself to you ,My name is ENGR:LAZIZ RAFIK MAHFOUD . I am the chief executive Director of Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. my company is based on oil explorations mostly in the middle east .and also a member of the organization of petroleum exporters union(OPEU)with headquarters in venezuella. The company was set up in 1958 by my late father Engr Gandaf Ahmed Mahfoud,my father discovered crude oil in most parts of iraq ,kuwait and iran respectively,until his death he achieved huge success in oil explorations globally. after his death in 1976 I was made next of kin. In 1981 I took over the company fully ,the company was formally called grand petroleum ltd,with headquarters in Baghdad. I was appointed executive director on economic matters to the organization of petroleum Exporting countries(OPEC).in 1986 to benefit non OPEC members and to provide loans to developing countries. I retired after years of achievement in may 31st 1992. DETAILS After my years of service to OPEC,I was unable to return to my office in baghdad due to the war in 1991.Lastly after several years of war I returned to the headquarters in 1997 .on the assumption of continuing where I stopped. I discovered that the company had been suffering of huge financial crises, huge taxation by the government ,looting and such corrupt practices by non concerned staffs and executives of the company all in the assumption that the company was collapsing. This taxes were imposed on the company by the heartless president of the federal republic of iraq, General Sadam Husein.which he claims is as a result of the gulf war in 1991. General sadam husein is doing this heartless enforcement on the because he discovered that my father was not an iraqi citizen but from uwait and the years of my service in opec were not favourable to him. Due to all this frustrating development I started developing high blood pressure. I have just been flown back to my family in kuwait ,after series of heart operations in Europe, before the operation I seized the opportunity of transferring the sum of $95million us dollars.from my account to Europe. I was purged to do this due to passive war again, I took this decision due to the loss I suffered between 1991and 1997 INITATION. I got to know of you in my search for a responsible individual /firm to assist me in investing the money in a peaceful, profitable and condusive environment, for the period of five years .due to my present condition. I have the sum already transferred to a private account in Europe. I will appreciate your response to this letter very much ,furnishing me with plans of investment. I await your urgent response to my letter so as to avoid the huge taxation policy in Europe. Thank you for your anticipation. BEST REGARDS ENGR.LAZIZ RAFIK MAHFOUD.
