Subject: Urgent Response Needed
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is my second letter to you and I hope you read it this time and kindly get back to me. I am Sergeant Abdul Wahid an Iraq soldier in unit 13 fighting with the Irish forces and American soldiers in Baghdad.
In November 15TH this year my colleague Sergeant Hameed Bashedad and I were posted to northern part of Baghdad outside khalis for a routine stop and search. Cars will be stopped and searched with the driver and passengers to make sure they are not carrying any weapon before they are allowed to enter Baghdad. In this process we stopped two men in a small Toyota car who appeared to be in a hurry and decided to detain them and make a thorough security check. Our search resulted in finding out that they starched huge amount of United States of American dollars in a sack bag. Further interrogation revealed that they are part of the Kurdish militants operating in the northern part of Iraq and they were actually running away with the money to another settlement.
We arrested them and handed them over to Iraqi police but we did not declare the money as evidence rather we took the money and put it in a trunk box and deposited it with a diplomatic security company here in Baghdad as our personal belongings. We decided to keep the money totaling Six million three hundred thousand United States dollars because the Iraqi police are corrupt and would have taken the money without declaring it. It has happened in several occasions.
Our plea is that you accept to receive this money in your country and keep it for us. We intend to escape to your country or any place you shall direct us as life in Iraq is becoming unbearable and we do not know when this war will end. The money will be sent to you as a diplomatic cargo and will not be tampered with until you receive it. All we need is an address where you intend to receive the money and your phone number. We will then arrange with the diplomatic security company to deliver the trunk box to you. When you receive the money we shall discuss of how much you will take for your effort.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sergeant Abdul Wahid.
