My lovely XXX please i want to remind you that i have some amount of money inside that box,i do not know how long i am going to stay in the hospital so please when you receive my box i will like you to look for an apartment and rent for me immediately till i arrive because i do not like to stay in a hotel take some of the money and pay for the apartment once you found one and then you keep the remaining for me till i come.I received this money from Afghanistan government for leading the troops that chased out terrorist at northern Afghanistan.They gave me $675.000 USD in compensation of my last 9 months contract with them.The amount couldn't be transferred into my U.S Bank account because it has been long i used my account for transaction so my account was deactivated,I will need to reactivate it when i get back to USA before i can be able to deposit my money in it.I wanted to keep this money here with me until i am signed off but i cannot because i do not want to lose the money.. that is why i decided to send it together with my military medals and my documents so that you keep it safe for me till i come over to be with you.
I trust and believe in you because you are a good and sincere woman,so please make sure you keep my box safe and do not let any one know about this money because i do not want to lose the money and finally make sure you look for a nice apartment immediately and inform me when you find one have a lovely night

I am writing to you regarding your box-package, Colonel Powell Martins, gave me to deliver to you in Vietnam which includes shoes, clothes and family treasure. I tried to call you when I arrived in Dubai unfortunately your number didn't went through because my flight was on transit from Afghanistan to Dubai due to bad weather and climate change,I just arrived in Noi Bai International Airport Hanoi City Vietnam.
As I was in the departure hall waiting for the next available flight to Tan Son Nhat International Airport Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam so that I can come to xxxxxxxx and I have a problem with the Vietnam Custom officers and Airport Police.They stopped me and the box/package, saying that the box is more than the weight it supposed to be, that I should open the box for them to see what is inside, which I did not have the key number to open the box and i told them that the box contains shoes ,clothes and family treasure, that the box is official box-package from Afghanistan but they disagreed with me, saying that they had a similar problem before that terrorists are using the same way to bring weapon and ammunition into their Country also that Afghanistan is a war zone Country and I started negotiating with them, finally they told me that I should remit an amount of 120,500,000.00 Vietnamese Dong to pay for the following certificates to indicate that the box is truly official package or I should bring the key to the box to examine it.
1,stamp Duty (2)free consignment movements certificate (3)Certificate of Transport
At this moment I have few hours to enter next available flight to Tan Son Nhat International Airport Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam so that I can handover the box to you inxxxxxxxxxxxx . Madam, please i want you to make all possible routine to provide this money to enable me proceed to my destination as I was directed by Colonel Powell Martins and I also have other items to deliver in different Countries.
I will cleared the box and bring it to you in xxxxxxxxxxxxxx as I was directed by Colonel Powell Martins .
I wait to hear from you soon,write e-mail because I don't have internet access here in Noi Bai International Airport Hanoi City Vietnam, I just used Custom officers laptop to write you now.
