Subject: From: U.S ARMY CONTRACTOR -- IRAQ. Urgent Assistance!
Dear Friend,
My name is John England; I am an American soldier with England background, serving in the military with the army’s 3rd infantry division as an Army Contractor. With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of (US$10,000,000.00) Ten Million United States Dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, this is no stolen money, and there is no danger involved.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
I was alerted on the need of some reconstruction works in Saddam’s old palace in Haifa Street, Tikrit-Iraq, a long thoroughfare of high-rise buildings built and occupied by Saddam Hussein when he was alive. I proceeded to the marked site and as my boys commenced evaluation work, I discovered an unusual bulge in a cellar, which I presumed to be a storage room. I decided to have a go at it and the metal covering was kicked in only to find a metal box. Some money in various currencies was discovered when the box was opened which amounts to $25,000,000.00 Twenty five million dollars.
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package, and believes that it belongs to a British / American medical doctor who died in a raid here in Iraq, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his family in united states.
I have now found a much-secured way of getting the package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up, and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me and also my ID’s for your confirmation. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldier’s here in Iraq. I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible and my only way of communication is email.
Best regards,
John England.
