Subject: i need your sincerity please advice
Attention:
I am Ellan William, an Army contractor attached to the US Army corps of
engineers in Iraq. The reason why I'm explaining my findings to you are to
seek for your assistance to enable you contributes immensely to the
actualization of this dream.
On the 25th day of November 2007, I and my group of men under my supervision
were alerted on the need of some urgent reconstruction works in Haifa
Street, a long thoroughfare of high-rise buildings built and occupied by
Saddam Hussein when he was alive here in Baghdad. Immediately we proceeded
to the site and as we commence work to our utmost surprise we discovered a
huge underground bunker in one of the buildings.
Upon investigation of the bunker to our surprise we discovered one very
lager box safely hidden and sealed, However I was attracted to the large
box, I told my men to open the box in order to find out the contents and
when we opened to our amazement the box contained US Dollars which amounted
to approximately $50M after time was taken to count them in bundles and
rolls.
I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy so that we can have
the money to our selves, they all agreed to the plan, I wisely took the
decision for us to share the money between our selves right there in the
room to avoid suspicion in moving the very large box and that led me to
having (US$ 7.2 Million) as my own share of the money after which I
concealed it in a diplomatic box and decided to get the money out of the
country, but first I hid the money in a safe and untraceable location.
I am now in desperate need of a Reliable and Trustworthy? Person like you
who would receive, secure and protect this box containing theUS$7.2Million
US Dollars for me up on till my assignment elapses here in Iraq. We shall
discuss the possibility of investing my share of the money in your related
business in your country. I cannot leave the box here in Iraq like most of
my men have foolishly done due to many reasons one of which is because Iraq
is getting unsafe and dangerous everyday and a full blown civil war among
Shiites and Sunni Iraqis may start any moment.
I assure and promise to give you 35% of this fund, however feel free to
negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this deal. I would
send my valid identification document to enable you trust and believe in me
and the reality of this deal as soon as i receive your acceptance and
reasonable.
Please contact me on this email only, Please assure me of your keeping this
topmost secret to protect my job with the US Army contractor and
Peace-Keeping mission, I would appreciate if this message is treated with
utmost urgency.
My Sincere regards,
Ellan William
