Hello Sir.
As I write this email to you Iam not asking you to
condemn the tenure of our president eventhough he
would resort to using other means in handling the
problem in Iraq rather than the war, its for this
reason that Iam confided on to a wheel chair today, My
name is Major Mark Donovan, Im an american
soldier,though on a wheelchair today, I use to serve
in the military with the Third (3rd) infantry Division
in Iraq (U.S Coalition Force).
My colleagues and I after going on a rampage on Saddam
Hussein palace in Baghdad discovered a substantial
amount of money. You may need to check out the
following BBC website to confirm more of our discovery
which was made known to the government, but this
particular one is a top secret:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
While on a rampage mission to Saddam Hussein Palace ,
we discovered secretly the sum of US$132,000,000 (One
Hundred and Thirty Two Million United States Dollars)
in cash money; which was secretly moved out to a
secure security company via diplomatic means in Europe
I therefore write to seek your assistance to proceed
and secure these funds under your custody,since I was
then the head of that coalition team my younger
colleague have as a way of compensation me due to me
present predicament ask me to claim that money for my
personal use, until they are through with service
assignment in Iraq .
I cannot disburse and keep more than US$10,000 in our
account even now that Iam not in active service.
There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are
interested I will send you the full details of the
security company in Eurrope and all the document they
will require from you, I believe you wont let me
down.
To ensure confidentiality, when you receive this
letter, kindly reply me via e-mail signifying your
interest including the following informations then I
in return will send you my address here in America, my
phone number etc
1) Your Tel and Fax number for verbal and
administrative communication
2) Your contact address for administrative application
of the funds claim with the security company.
3) Your identity for us to identify you
Respectfully Submitted
Major. Mark Donovan
