Subject: Dear Friend,

Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Philip David, I am a HSBC Bank London External Auditor; I was invited by the United Nation Financial Committee (UNFC) to Audit Helima Security Storage Company in Baghdad (IRAQ). Prior to my Investigation I discovered that in 2004 two U.S soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division deposited a box Seized from an unknown Top Saddam Hussein’s aide with the company during the war. Both soldiers died in active Service, since then no one has come forward to claim the Box. This Box contains $23.8 million USD (Twenty Three Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).
I have used my Position to move this Box to a HSBC Affiliate Security Company in Lagos (Nigeria)(Ed. Note: Well, maybe not so creative after all!) to be delivered to any designation of your choice or the content fund transferred into any nominated bank account of your choice depending as we may agree; I did not let them know the content of the box. I deposited it as a family treasure kept for security reasons. As a staff of HSBC I cannot lay Claim to this Box (Money), but I can instruct that the box be delivered or transferred to you by Diplomatic means as the original depositor.
I got your Contact from your Local Internet Directory while searching for a reliable, trustworthy and Serious minded fellow to Assist and Partner with me to claim this Box. This will not involve any risk; as a staff of this Bank I will facilitate the easy release and hitch-free claim of this Box (Fund)
