Good day,
My name is Sgt John Fletcher , an American soldier Serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, during our search we discoverd some US$55 Million dollars in cash hidden in a Warehouse belonged to Saddam Hussien's family. mostly in 100 dollar bills.

Ref - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

We want to move this money to you,so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking.We will take 60%,

my partner and I. You take the other 40%. no strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a warzone.

We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in one large silver box, using diplomatic immunity.

If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that

will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter,kindly send me an e-mail to (sgt.john1881@yahoo.com)

signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your

contact details. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs.

Respectfully,


Sgt: John Fletcher

That Box would be HUGE! 550,000+ pieces of paper take up a lot of room!

Old ass scam, heard about this one the first week of the war!

Gotta love the nigerian grammatical version of english.

Wish you could get the guy to meet a few real soldiers over there. Give him a lights out blanket party.

Hey! UPS just delivered a big box full of $100 bills to my doorstep. It looks like there must be close to.... oh, I dunno.... $55,000,000 in here! WooHoo!! I guess it really paid off for me to reply to that e-mail that I got a few weeks ago.

Free D200's and 70-200 VR's for everyone!
