Google maps has launched and they now have a satelite feature. check it out, it is very cool. Someday this same technology will be used in a handheld and no one will get lost again. I am not sure this bodes well for national security though.

Going once….going twice…sold to the man in the back. Get your Iraq real estate.

As far as bargain-hunters are concerned, Abbas cautions would-be investors to consider the difference in comforts one can expect in Iraq compared with real estate in Western countries.

First off, there’s the matter of toilets. Beware, Abbas warns, of homes listing only an “Eastern toilet,” which is essentially realtorese for a hole in the ground. Those who want a fixture that actually flushes will have to pay a premium for listings that feature a “Western toilet.”

There are other drawbacks as well.

“Of course, water from the tap will make you very ill unless you’ve gotten used to it,” Abbas warns. Electricity works about half the time, and nearly every Iraqi family who can afford it owns a backup generator. Air conditioning isn’t up to Western standards, and phone service is notoriously unreliable. Ensuring that the property owner is who he or she claims to be is also a tricky business, requiring some investigation by the buyer or buyer’s agent.

Other inconveniences — such as stray gunfire, kidnappings and roadside bombings — are well-documented in international headlines.

Re: Payment Notification

This is to draw your attention that your fund (us$32.7Million) is now
ready
for payment but we have dictated a lot of irregularities attached
to your payment file.Please do urgently respond to these questions for clearity
.

(1) Did you at any time delegate any body not even from your family
to claim
your fund on your behalf?
(2) Were you involve in a motor accident
(3) Are you aware or related to one Mr. Thomas Baker from your
country?

Please reconfirm and answer the above questions because one Mr.
Thomas Baker
came to our Foreign Payment Department and submitted an application
that
you have authorized your fund to be paid into the account of Oceanic
Bank
of Switzerland with Account number SW-A943BDG99. Then he said that
the earlier
submitted bank account informations for your payment will not be
further
used as you are now paralyzed in the hospital as a result of the
ghastly
motor accident you had last month.

In fact, after processing the application by Mr. Thomas Baker himself
which
he made known to us that he came from you, he was anxiously ready to
clear
all the bank charges that you are supposed to pay so as to make sure
that
we effect this transfer payment as quickly as possible without any
further
delay. All duplicate copies of his application letter and documents
are
attached to your files. Due to this reason, we have decided to make
this
contact and verification to find out exactly what is the true
position of
Mr. Baker’s representation.

The delay in the transfer is from us now just because we requested
for a
power of attorney from him which is an authorization from you, for
him to
act on your behalf as regards to the pursue of this payment. He asked
for
a week so as to submit the documents but up till now we have not
receive
any of the documents from any of you, Why? So you are requested to
acknowledge
this department on your readiness to receive your fund and forward to
us
a legal authorization (power of attorney) for us to give the final
payment
instruction to credit your nominated bank account in Switzerland
without
further delay.

Thanks for your corporation.

Yours faithfully,

Mr.Abubakar Momoh
Director,
International Fund Transfer Unit, CBN.
