Subject: HOW ARE YOU TODAY, PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP

HELLO,
HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING ALRIGHT. MY NAME IS SGT. CHRISTOPHER LEWIS AND I AM AN AMERICAN SOLDIER SERVING IN THE MILITARY OF THE 3RD INFANTRY DIVISION IN IRAQ. AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE BEING ATTACKED BY INSURGENTS EVERYDAY AND CAR BOMBINGS.

I HAVE SUMMED UP COURAGE TO CONTACT YOU WITH A VERY DESPERATE NEED FOR ASSISTANCE. 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, 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 WAS DISCOVERED IN BARRELS AT A FARM HOUSE 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 CAN VIEW THE LINK ATTACH TO THIS MAIL AND READ HOW I DISCOVER THIS PACKAGE: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

PLEASE I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY AND TRUSTWORTHY TO HANDLE THIS PACKAGE WITH UTMOST CARE AND KEEP THE SECRET TO YOURSELF ALONE AS YOU ARE AWARE THAT I AM STILL SERVING AS A SOLDIER, I WOULD NOT WANT ANYTHING THAT WILL RUIN MY REPUTATION IN UNITED STATES MILITARY RECORD.

HOWEVER, AS I PLANNED IT, 10% OF MY SHARE IS STRICTLY GOING TO MOTHERLESS BABY HOME (THE NEEDY), 40% WOULD BE COMPLETELY YOURS AND THE REAMING 50% WILL BE MINE FOR WISELY INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE ALREADY FOUND A VERY SECURED WAY OF GETTING THE PACKAGE OUT OF IRAQ TO YOUR HOME 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 DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG WE WILL REMAIN HERE AS WE WILL SOON MOVE TO AFGHANISTAN, SO I WANT US TO CONCLUDE EVERY ARRANGEMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 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 E-MAIL ADDRESS WHICH IS MY ONLY WAY OF COMMUNICATION. PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER FOR ANY THING BECAUSE I WILL TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER THAT REQUIRED.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU’RE FAMILY, IN GOD WE TRUST.
SGT. CHRISTOPHER LEWIS.
