Subject: Good Morning
My honor,
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I am an army officer Now serving with the third infantry contingent mission stationed in Iraq; I actually found your contact particulars in a business journal.
I am seeking your experience and assistance to evacuate the sum of $8.5Million United Sates Dollars to a comfortable place where you reside. This is no stolen fund, and there are no risks involved.
SOURCE OF FUNDS:
During the third month of the raid here in Iraq, Myself and a few other soldiers while conducting a routine search in a location near one of Saddam old palaces, I discovered large Sums of money buried in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions which we believed must have been part of Saddam's hidden treasure. I and my late colleague agreed not to turn over the cash or declare it to our authorities that brought us here, since there was nothing we could do having considered that there is no amount or kind of compensation that can make up, be quantified, or justify the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole then I quickly declare the boxes to UNICEF staff who came to rescue victims of the war to neighboring country where American set as center for treatment, I drop a note with UNICEF staff that the boxes belongs to an alien who leave in Iraq and that they want me to keep there personal belongings for them. The staff fully accepted the boxes from me and put it inside the fli
ght to a near by country within the Middle East.
The total money inside the 2 boxes was amounting of $18.5Million Dollars, these boxes have been moved out of Iraq by UNICEF to near by country and it was deposited security Vault, in a security vault. I confounded the UNICEF Staff that these boxes contain Gold and diamond for the shop of alien who trade in Iraq that they should secure it until they return or call for claim.
One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter to the public due to my office and duty in Iraq, if you should have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail. I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have
survived two suicide bomb attacks by the grace of God.
It may be difficult for us to communicate frequently for security reasons, so as soon as I am sure you are willing to help, I will link you up with the contact and close confidant who will work with you to get the money into your care. On your immediate correspondence with the contact which I will introduce to you, he will need to release to you the document and secret code in which the funds was safeguarded with so you can proceed for claim and collection, but only when he has ascertained your seriousness and totality to commit your time in seeing to the success of this. We will also discuss your percentage when it is convenient to do so but the first thing is for you to get hold of the funds first.
I want you to write me and I shall brief you all details to achieve this aim.
Thanks,
Sgt.Charles Willy.
