the 1st Armored Division in Iraq. We have just been posted out of Iraq to
Germany but I am presently in Iraq at the mean time.
My superior and I moved some large funds hoard by Saddam Hussein,worth
$25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five million US dollars)
This money is being kept safe in a security company. Click on this link to

Basically since we are working for the government we cannot keep these
funds, but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so that you can
keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account. We will divide
the total funds in three ways, since we are three involved. So I will want
us to talk on the percentage. This business is confidential, and it should
not be discussed with anyone.There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you
are interested i will send you the details as my job is to find a good
partner that we can trust and that will assist us.
Can i trust you?
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick
communication as well as your contact details. This business is risk free.
