Good day to you,
My name is Sgt. Allen Thamos; am an American soldier, serving in the military with the Third infantry Division in Iraq. I and my superior moved funds belonging to Saddam Hussein, the total is $US$16,000,000 (sixteen Million United States Dollars),this money is being kept safe in a secured location. You may need to check out the following BBC website to confirm more of our discovery which was made know to the government, but this particular one is a top secret:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
Basically since we are working for the government and cannot keep these funds, we have decided to look for someone to help us receive the funds in his offshore account for Joint Investment.
We will divide the total funds in three ways, since we are three involved in this project . You will take 30%, 30% will be for me, while my superior officer will take 30%. 10% will be kept aside for expenses. This business is secret, 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, Can I trust you? To ensure confidentiality, when you receive this letter, kindly reply me via e-mail signifying your interest including your private mobile number and contact address for
quick communication.
This business is 100% risk free.
Respectfully submitted
Sgt. Allen Thamos
