Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
Dear Friend,
Good day to you. I am sure This mail will definitely be coming to you as a
surprise,but i must crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you. I am
Lance Corporal Alan Tyler, a US marine, currently serving in Iraq. The
reason why I am contacting you via this media is because it is anonymous. I
can't contact my friends and family back home as they are listed as
acquitances in my military file and to contact them may compromise the
confidentiality of this transaction. I am currently in Kuwait on duty break.
I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned cash in a mansion belonging
to the slayed former president of Iraq, Saddam Husein and the total cash is
$25 Million USD. We have discovered the cash for over 3 months now but we
waited until the verdict has been passed and we are sure there is no way
anybody could trace the money.
As I write this letter to you, this box is here with me in cash as I
secretly moved it out of Iraq to Kuwait. You do not have to be afraid of
anything as no one else knows about this and everything is safe. I would be
pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this box as
I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my collegues. Of course,
I will give you some money for your efforts.
Moving the funds out of here is not going to be much of a problem as
arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust
and assurance that if the boxes gets to you, you can keep them in a safe
place until our arrival. I have to stop here for now. We have limited time
now, kindly get back to me immediately.
In God we trust,
Lance Corporal Alan Tyler
