Dear Beloved,
I am a Civil Staff working under United States Marine Corps operating with the Engineering Military Dept unit in Baghdad, Iraq, we accidentally discovered $715M.Out of this amount I and my colleague were able to move out $65 Million US dollars and declared only $650M.We have decided to take our chance even if it means being dismissed from the Army. As I am writing this mail to you we are being investigated for moving this money, though they do not know the actual amount that was moved. However I do not care the way the investigation goes. Even if I have to lose my job, the only thing that is important to me is to make sure that the money is secured. The fund is believed to have been left behind by fleeing Iraqi Leaders. Please see the link below

We have already secretly deposited this fund in a Finance Company in Baghdad, Iraq. This is a deal which we are proposing to you to use you as a rightful beneficiary of the fund as we have to change the whole documents in your name and your company name so that you can claim this fund in your name inorder not for the iraq government/U.s Government have any trace on us. But the question is can we trust you when the funds get to you? You will take your 20% for the assistance and my lawyer (Barrister Smith George will come over to obtain the balance in your country in a safe custody). Your role is to find a safe place for the funds while our own part is make sure that the fund is sent to a secured destination where you will have no problem in either clearing or receiving the fund. You can write me via my private email for a faster communication.
However I cannot talk to you on phone always due to the investigation going on. I strongly believe my telePhone are being monitored as I know that I am being watched. All communication therefore must be through email for the main time because i believe it is safe for me that way. However if I have the opportunity I can sneak out to a nearby town to mail you. I will need an assurance from you about the safety of the fund when it gets to you because this fund is very important to me and my collegues as we already knows that we might be losing our job. Please let me know if you will be able to work with me in this deal.
Presently I am in the United Kingdom for a fraternity meeting which is going to last till the end of this month so I bet we have to use this opportunity in handling this transaction because immediately I get back to Iraq the security will be very strict for me to head on with it.
Awaiting Your Reply
