Subject: YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED---------FROM JAMES BRAIN.
Dear Friend,
I am Captain Brian James of the US Marine Corps. On Monitoring and Peace –keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq. On the 3rd day of May 2007, we were alerted on the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not too far from Baquba here in Iraq .
We lied an ambush at Al Taqa (Babil) on May 12, at which one Iraqi soldier and 4 US 10th Mountain Division soldiers were killed; 3 soldiers of the US unit were captured. One was found dead in the Euphrates 11 days later. The other two were claimed to have been executed and buried in an ISI video release, after a 4,000-man manhunt by US and allied forces ended without success. No direct proof was given to us.
After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists; two (2) were killed leaving seven (7) injured. In the process of Interrogations they confessed being rebels for Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi and took us to a cave in Karbala , which served as their camp.
Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including a Metallic Box to my amazement contain some US Dollars amounting to ($16.5M) Sixteen Million Five hundred thousand U.S.dollars. I and two of my junior intelligent officers was aware of the physical cash found in the box.
I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy. Every arrangement to get the box containing this money moved out of Baghdad has been concluded by me. There is absolutely no risk involve. I am in keen need of a "Reliable and Trustworthy" person like you who would receive, secure and protect the Box containing the money for me up on till my assignment elapses in here in Iraq.
