Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED
Dear Sir/Madam,=20
=20
This is my second letter to you and I hope you read it this time and kindly=
get back to me. I am Sergeant Abdulaziz Abdul Wahid an Iraq soldier in uni=
t 13 fighting with the royal armed forces of Britain and American soldiers =
in Baghdad.=20
=20
In April 24TH this year my colleague Sergeant Hameed Bashedad and I were po=
sted to northern part of Baghdad outside khalis for a routine stop and sear=
ch. Cars will be stopped and searched with the driver and passengers to mak=
e sure they are not carrying any weapon before they are allowed to enter Ba=
ghdad. In this process we stopped two men in a small Toyota car who appeare=
d to be in a hurry and decided to detain them and make a thorough security =
check. Our search resulted in finding out that they starched huge amount of=
United States American dollars in a sack bag. Further interrogation reveal=
ed that they are part of the Kurdish militants operating in the northern pa=
rt of Iraq and they were actually running away with the money to=20
another settlement.=20
=20
We arrested them and handed them over to Iraqi police but we did not declar=
e the money as evidence rather we took the money and put it in a trunk box =
and deposited it with a diplomatic security company here in Baghdad as our =
personal belongings. We decided to keep the money totaling about four milli=
on dollars because the Iraqi police men are corrupt and would have taken th=
e money without declaring it. It has happened in several occasions.
=20
Our plea is that you accept to receive this money in your country and keep =
it for us. We intend to escape to your country or any place you shall direc=
t us to as life in Iraq is becoming unbearable and we do not know when this=
war will end. The money will be sent to you as a diplomatic cargo and will=
not be tampered with until you receive it. All we need is an address where=
you intend to receive the money and your phone number. We will then arrang=
e with the diplomatic security company to deliver the trunk box to you. Whe=
n you receive the money we shall discuss of how much you will take for your=
effort.

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.=20
