Subject: DEAR FRIEND
Dear Friend,
My name is Henry Robert of The 3rd Battalion,
3rd Marines, I am serving in Iraq (Mosul) and I will need your assistance to
take care of some financial matters for me and of course you will be
adequately compensated.
I have to urgently evacuate money the sum of $20,000,000.00 (Twenty million
US dollars) clean legal notes and all in US$100 bills out of here to a safe
place, having found a secure way to do so.
5 million US dollars (US$ 5,000,000) will be your share for rendering this
assistance.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies were discovered concealed in barrels with
piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam,s old
palaces during a rescue operation several months ago and it was agreed by
the few of us present that the money be shared amongst us, though this was
an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for
the risks we are taking with our lives in this hell hole.

The above figure was given to me as my share and for several reasons,
concealing this volume of cash here has been a big problem/source of
distraction to me. I have now found a temporary solution with the help of a
lady who is working with an international organization here, She does not
know the real contents of the packages used in concealing the funds and must
not know rather believes that the packages belong to an Asian American who
died in an air raid and before giving up, he trusted me to hand the packages
as it is to his business associate in Europe.
One request I will like that you keep this information to yourself. Should
you have any reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any
leakage will be too bad for us. I want to have a very peaceful retirement
life after my service here and I rely so much on this fortune to provide
that for me. If this proposal is acceptable by you, I await your urgent
e-mail so we can discuss more.
Thabnks and remain bless.
Regards,
Henry Robert.
