Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a surprise, but I implore you to take time to go through it carefully.
I am Sgt. G. Carson, in 4th Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment unit. We Patrols the helmand province,Afghanistan. I am desperately in need of an assistance that's why I have summoned courage to contact you.
I found your contact address in an address journal. Please i need your assistance to evacuate the sum of $2.5m (Two Million Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars) to you for safekeeping until i will be through with my service here in Afghanistan to come over for disabursement.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in US DOLLARS was discovered in a barrels at a location in helman province where we conducted a foot patrol and it was agreed by all party present that the money be divided among us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we are taking with our lives in this service.
The above figure was given to me as my part and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me while still here in Afghanistan, so with the help of a Canadian contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.
I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Afghanistan. I do not know how long I will remain here, as I have been lucky to survive 4 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you, kindly contact me immediately and we would work out the necessary formalities but I urge you to be discreet about this information.
Respectfully,
Sgt. G.Carson,
United States Soldier:Afghanistan
