Hi Friend,
This is my second mail to you; I am sending this from Adder near Nasiriya, about 198 miles southeast of Baghdad, Adder is one of the last four US Bases left in Iraq. I am Staff Sergeant Michael Grinston and I am from Jasper, Alabama . I am currently with the Intelligence Unit of the US Marine Corp.I have sent email to you few days back without response and i believe you will understand this time and help me.
I have been on 6 tours of duty since the war broke out and I have seen a lot happen. Saddam had to go, he was a bad guy. I dont care really what reason was given, all I know is Saddam had to go.
I have seen a lot in Iraq and come across a lot of atrocities, some by Americans and some by Brits. There are some good guys also. Recently I helped an Iraqi leader, he was accused of being a spy and was arrested. I investigated his case and found he had been set up by a local rival who wanted to cash in. I saw through it and helped the guy, Hassan.
Hassan did what a few people do, he showed appreciation and gave me some money to keep. Hassan is an Oil dealer and he gave me 5.5Million dollars . I said No but Hassan made it clear it was a gift and he wanted nothing in return.
I can't declare the money because I am not allowed to take any gifts from the natives, You get done for it but I have slept over it and I will not throw 5.5Million away.
so I need your help, I need someone I could trust as i cannot use any one close to me. I can push the money to the UK through a friend of mine that I met over here, thats as far as I can get it. I will need you to go to London and get the money for me or my friend can arrange for a diplomat that can deliver the money to you doorstep.
We will give 10% of the sum to any charity of our choice. so on gaining your interest to assist, then we can further discuss on the terms and modalities for sharing of the money, I am not greedy. I anticipate your prompt response with your.
