Subject: From SGT.Eckhard Rudlaff
Attn;
I am SGT.Eckhard Rudlaff from the hospitality state (Mississippi), and
of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace keeping mission in
Baghdad-Iraq.
On the 21st day of December 2008, we were alerted on the sudden
presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not too far from
Karbala here in Iraq . After Immediate intervention, we captured three
(3) of the Terrorists, twenty-six (26) were killed leaving seven (7)
injured.
In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for late Ayman
al-Zawahiri and took us to a cave in Karbala which served as their
camp. Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunition
including some boxes among which two contains nuclear weapons, one
filled with hard drugs(cocaine) and the other four to my amazement
contain some US Dollars amounting to $23.2M after two of my junior
intelligent officers and I counted them. I however instructed them to
keep this in high secrecy.
I am in keen need of a Reliable and Trustworthy person like you who
would receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the US Dollars
for me up on till my assignment elapses here in Iraq .
I assure and promise to give you 15% of this fund, however feel free to
negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this business.
Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission.
Kind Regards,
SGT.Eckhard Rudlaff
