Subject: Attention
ATTN/Sir/Madam
My name is Sgt Luther Anthony, I am an American soldier with Swiss
background,serving in the military with the army's 3rd infantry division
in Iraq.
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summoned 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 ( $ 35 million u.s.
dollars ) Thirty Five million united states dollars to you, as far as I
can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my
service here, this is no stolen money,and there are no danger involved.
Source of money: Some money in various currencies was discovered in
barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq
during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by staff Sgt James Peter 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 Iraq. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side
bomb last week.
YOU WILL FIND THE STORY OF THIS MONEY ON THE WEB ADDRESS BELOW:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A35080-2003Apr24
The above figure was given to me as my share, to conceal this kind of
money became a problem for me since the war against terrorist is still on
in Iraq, so with the help of a British contact working here which 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 What is contained in 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 much secured way of getting the package out of Iraq to
your country for you TO safeguard it for me, and I will discuss this with
you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me.
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, for
this 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 as my only way of communication is email.
God Bless You
Sgt Luther Anthony
