Hi, my name is Capt. George Hall. I'm an Armour officer in the United States Army, and am going to make this real quick as delay wont be a choice. I have some important packages I would like you to receive for me . I want to assure you that the packages are 100% legal, not stolen in anyway and does not contain anything that will get you into any form of trouble.
I'm going to be very open with you as I have nothing to hide from you. For the past few months, I have been involved in a few oil deals with some top oil tycoons down here in the middle east of which the US Army was not aware of, yes, this has so far been a personal project that I embarked on and I had to keep it that way because of the future.
As I write to you now, I was paid the sum of five million, three hundred thousand USD ($5,300,000) early last month after series of transactions went well. For safety reasons, I chose to be paid in cash as my bank account is being monitored by the Army and Uncle Sam.
The funds are neatly packed into two military coded open shipping containers and they were stored in a safe location down here until we were attacked by a terrorist group some days ago which left us with an emergency to evacuate from the current camp base to somewhere far and out of sight .
This has not been good for me because I was going to loose all I have worked for if I did not come up with something fast. Due to my rank, I was able to get your details from the DOD data base and then I contacted you.
The funds has already been safely shipped to the United States but is currently in London(the transporter had to pass through London) and right now I need you to work with me with the safe keeping of the boxes until I return home by the month of December 2018 after which I will be retiring from active duty.
Can you do that for me ? If yes, you would be rewarded with 20% ($1,060,000) of the total funds for your part in this deal and you must keep this as a top secret just between you and I. The boxes would be delivered to you via a very secured means of delivery without any further delay as Military consignments, I'll also give up the current location of the boxes as soon as I am sure we are on the same page.
Let me know if you can work with me, I promise you will never regret working with me. I will send you my Identity Card and some pictures once we are on same page. Let me say congratulations in advance as you are about to become a millionaire.
Thanks for your understanding and co-operation
Kind Regards,
CPT George Hall
