Dear Sir,
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have
summed up courage to contact you.
I am from (will disclose this later), presently
working in Iraq with an international organisation
that I will also disclose later, I found your contact
particulars in an address journal.
I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of
$45,000,000:00 (Forty Five million dollars) to your country or any other
safe country of your choice, as far as I can be assured that my share will
be safe in your care untill I complete my service here,this is no
stolen money, and there are no dangers involved.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered
concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and
ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam,s old
palaces during a rescue operation, and it was agreed
by all party present that the money be shared amongst
us, this was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell
you what? no compensation can make up for the risks we
have taken with our lives in this hell hole.
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to
conceal this kind of money became a problem for me,
so with the help of a German contact working here,
and his office enjoys some immunity, I was able to
get the package out to a safe location entirely out
of trouble spot.
He does not know the real contents of the package, and
believes that it belongs to an Asian American who
died in an air raid, and before giving up, trusted me
to hand over the package to his business associate.
I have now found a secured way of getting the
package out to a safer country Europe for you to pick up, and will discuss
this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me.
One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to
discuss this matter with a third party, should you
have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this
mail as any leakage of this information will be too
bad for us.
I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I
have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by the special
grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention
later has prompted me to reach out for help, I
honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately.
Please contact me through this email walterpalmeroo@netscape.net so that
we can discuss
more.
Respectfully,
Walter Palmer.
