Dear Friend,

My name is SGT Frank Bougus, I am an American soldier, serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq , As you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussien's family. The total amount is US$15 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. 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 75%, my partner and I. You take the other 25%. no strings attached, just help us pick the box out of security company in Europe and keep it for us right now Iraq is a warzone. We plan on using diplomatic courier as soon as you claim the fund out of the security company in Europe 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 signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details like full name,address and your identification for security purpose.
This business is risk free.

Respectfully, Sgt. Frank Bougus

'Bogus', good one. I have to wonder if anyone has really ever replied to one of these with their information, account numbers, etc.

Didn't they arrest or court marshal soldiers who actually found and tried to take the money from Saddam's palace when the war first started and they over threw him?

Somewhat related to photography, they used Ektacrhome slide transparency film to shoot the whole movie and some kind of a bleach bypass process to develop it to give it its unique look. The details can be found on IMDB.
