*Let Do It Together
From:The Table of Sgt.Kennedy Nwan
My name is Sgt.Kennedy Nwan and I am an American Soldier serving in the
Military of the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. As you know, we are being
attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombings. We stumbled into Saddam
Hussein's storage vault and discovered funds belonging to his family. The
total amount is US$18.5 Million Dollars. We want to move this money to a
reputable/sincere person for investment purposes. This is the reason for
contacting you.
*
**
*We are ready to compensate you with good percentage of the funds. We have
shipped the money out of Iraq to a security company in Europe via
diplomatic means as Iraq is a war zone. *
**
*We want you to help us receive the funds into your bank account for
purposes of investiments or you can set up a fresh account for this
transaction. If you are interested, I will send you more details. *

find a good and respectable partner with great reputation that we can trust.
Can we trust you?. If you want us to trust you, kindly send me an e-mail
signifying your interest to this (
