How is everything going, I hope great?
Though i have not considered this medium to be the best manner to have
approached you on this
issue being that the internet has been greatly abused over the recent years
and is very unsecured
for informations of vital importance.
I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other means could have been
faster and more
efficient than the E-mail. I write to you irrespective of the fact you do
not know me,but please
do consider this letter as a request from a brother in dire need of
assistance. My name is Ali
Ibrahim(Sgt)an American soldier,but British by Birth, I am serving in the
military of the 1st
Armored Division here in Iraq.As you know we are being attacked by
insurgents everyday and car
bombs,it will come worst now Saddam Hussein was executed. During one of our
rescue Mission we
came across a safe that contains the total sum of $21,000,000 (Twenty one
Million Us Dollars)
that belongs to the revolutionari es, which I believe they use in buying
weapons and ammunitions,
and it was agreed
by all party present that the money will be shared amongst us. You can go to
this web link to
read about events that took place here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
Out of the total fund my share was $8,000,000 (Eight Million US Dollars). I
am seeking your
assistance to evacuate my share of the money, which is $8,000,000 out of
here to you, in as much
as you can assure me that my own share will be safe in your care until I
complete my service
here.
This is no stolen money,and there are no dangers involved, as I have made
arrangements with a UN
representative based in Asia who promised to deliver the fund to any of my
choosing destination.
I shall be compensating you with US$2,500,000.00 (Two Million, Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars) on
final conclusion of this project,while the rest shall be for me for my
investment purposes.
One passionate app eal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with
a third party,
should you have reasons to reject this offer,please destroy this e-mail as
any leakage of this
information will be too bad for me.
I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have survived two
suicide bomb attacks,
which prompted me to reach out for help because I will be migrating to you
to invest and start a
new life not as a soldier anymore.
Please if this proposal is acceptable by you, kindly send me an e-mail
signifying your interest
including your most confidential telephone numbers for quick communication
also your home address
where the fund would be delivered.please send your reply to my private
mail box;ibrahim_sgt01@yahoo.com <box%3Bibrahim_sgt01@yahoo.com>
As soon as I receive your email with the information, I will furnish you
with full details on
when and how the fund shall be delivered to you by the diplomat and he will
make a contact with
you before anything move.
Waiting for our urgent reply.
Best regards,
Sgt. Ali Ibrahim.
