Good day to you My name is Sgt. Andrew Smith I am an American soldier,

Basically since we are working for the American
government we cannot keep these funds, but we want to
transfer and move the funds to you, so that you can
keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore
account. We will divide the total funds in three ways,
since we are 3 that is involved. This means that you
will take 30percent, I will take 30percent, and my
partner will take 30percent, 10percent will be kept
aside for expenses. This business is confidential, and
it should not be discussed with anyone. There is no
risk involved whatsoever. 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.
