Butch --------------- " Dan & Brenda Eric " <danericaa Pls contact Dan in Iraq Dear Sir, With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I am an army Sgt. from Fort Hood Tx. now serving with the third infantry contingent mission stationed in Iraq, I actually found your contact particulars in a business journal. I am seeking your experience and assistance to evacuate the sum of £13.5 million pounds sterlings to the USA or any other safe country. This is no stolen funds, and there are no risks involved. ------ During the third month of the raid here in Iraq, Myself and a few other soldiers while conducting a routine search in a location near one of Saddam,s old palaces, uncovered large sums of money buried in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions, we agreed not to turn over the cash, and so shared it amongst ourselves, although this was kind of illegal, but there is no kind of compensation that can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. I was given the sum of £13.5 million pounds sterlings as my own share, and had nowhere to conceal such bulk monies here, so had to employ the services of a contact introduced to me by a German colleague, the said contact facilitated the movement of the funds to a safer location entirely here in Iraq, and would assist you to get the funds to safety. What he knows is that the funds belongs to an Asian American who died in the war, and trusted me to turn in the money to his family. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with any third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail, as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us. I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by the by the grace of God. It maybe difficult for us to communicate frequently for security reasons, so as soon as I am sure you are willing to help, I will link you up with the contact who will work with you to get the money into your care. We will also discuss your price when it is convenient to do so. In the meantime, please contact me through my email so we can discuss more. Respectfully, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
