419 scam: "PAUL GREEN" <paulgreen11@msn.com> From Paul Green.

Dear Sir,

How are you today together with your work? With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I am Presently working in Iraq with an international organization that I Will disclose to you later, I found your contact particulars in an
Address Journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $18,500,000 (Eighteen million, five hundred thousand dollars) all in US$100 bills out of here to a safe country, in as much as you can assure me that my own share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here in Iraq. This is no stolen money, and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:
During the war, some money in various currencies was asked to be packed 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 will 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 female UN contact working here, whose office enjoys some immunity, I was able to get the packages (3 in No.) to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot, where they have been for the past 8 months, who of course did not know the real contents and must not know. I told her that they belong to an Asian American who died in an air raid, and before giving up, trusted me to hand them over to his business associate in Europe.

I have now found a secured way of getting the package out to Europe for you to pick them up, and will discuss this with you when I am sure of your sincerity in this.

I shall be compensating you with 5 Million Dollars on final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for me. Your share stays with you while the rest shall be for me for investment purposes. 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 me.

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.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you. I await your urgent response so we can discuss more.

Respectfully,
Marc Duchene.
