Subject: DID YOU RECEIVE MY MAIL?
Hello friend,
How are you and your family? Hope all is well. My name is (Sgt Steve Green)
I am an American soldier, serving in the military with the army's 3rd
infantry division. With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed
up courage to contact you. I found your contact particulars in an address
journal. I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of ($8 million
U.S. dollars) eight million United States dollars to you in your country; as
far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I
complete my service here. source of money: some money in various currencies
were discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam's old palaces
in Baghdad Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by staff Sgt
Kenneth buff and I that some part of this money be shared among both of us
before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first. This
was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? no compensation can
make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. of
which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last time. you will
find the story of this money on the web address below;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm 30th Apr 2003 the above
figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became
a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here, and
his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe
location entirely out of trouble spot.
he does not know the real contents of the package, and believes that it
belongs to a British/American medical doctor who died in a raid here in
Iraq, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his
family in united states. I have now found a very Secured way of getting the
package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up, and I will discuss
this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me, and I
believe that my money will be well secured in your hand because you have
fear of god. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money
for the assistance you will give to me. one passionate appeal I will make to
you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to
reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of
this information will be too bad for us soldier's here in Iraq. I do not
know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and
survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of god, this and
other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I
honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as
soon as possible with my private e-mail address which is my only way of
communication sgt_stevegreen@mail2Army.com
God bless you and your family.
Sgt. S .Green
