Confidential Message
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Lt. Robert Seidel, I am an American Marine, a serving military officer with the 22nd expeditionary of the Marine in Iraq, as you know insurgents are attacking us everyday with car bombs. We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein's family. The total amount is US$15 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100-dollar bills. We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest part of it for us and keep the balance of our share for banking.
We will take 60%, my partner and I. You take the other 40%. No strings
attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a war zone. We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in one large silver box, using diplomatic immunity. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this mail, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone number for quick communication also your contact details. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs.
