From: Capt. Larry Wilson.Good
Day Friend, I got your contact via the internet during my search for a reliable
partner whom I can trust and requires such magnitude of confidence and honesty,
I came to conclusion after praying and fasting that you are a good fellow to
confide in even though we never met for the first time. Actually, I had 3 names
on my prayer list and in the end I have the confirmation and conviction in my
heart that you are more to be trusted, this was why I contact you for this
mutual benefit as I have gone through a profile that speaks good of you and it
interests me to contact via this medium.
I am Captain Larry Wilson, of the Monitoring and Peacekeeping mission in
Baghdad-Iraq. On the 7th day of August 2007, we were alerted on the sudden
presence of some Terrorists and Iraqi Insurgents camping in a suburb not too
far from Karbala here in Iraq.
After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists;
twenty-six (26) were killed leaving seven (7) injured.
In the process of interrogation, they confessed being rebels backed by former
Iraqi Leader Saddam Hussein, they were planning surprise attacks to retaliate
the killings of their Leader; they took us to a cave in Karbala, which
served as their camp.
Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including some
boxes among which two contains suspected Chemical weapons, one filled with hard
drugs (cocaine) and the other one to my amazement contained Money
runs into Millions of United States Dollars after I and two of my junior
intelligent officers counted them. I have strong believed this funds where to
be used for the continued terrorist funding and insurgent killer attacks in
Iraq.
I however instructed one of my trusted officers to keep the Boxes of money in
high secrecy place while we submitted the other discovered items to our
superior command.
Now, I am in keen need of a "Reliable and Trustworthy" person who
would receive, secure and protect this boxes containing the US Dollars for me
up on till my assignment elapses here in Iraq.
Please
note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in lifetime and more so,
if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your care, as this is
one of the legacy we keep for our children, but In case you don't accept, do
not let me out to the international media as I am giving you this information
in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my
proposal in good faith,, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have
as your percentage in this business. Please assure me of your keeping this
topmost secret to protect my job.
Sincere
regards,
Captain Larry Wilson
