As is typical of this scam the scammer tells you he has a large amount of money stashed away and needs help getting it out of the country. He will tell you he got the money through any one of a number of fanciful lies such as this one for money "found" while on duty.
The scammer will usually ask for these fees to be paid through a cash wiring service such as Western Union or Money Gram, offering you a large portion of the non-existent "stash" in exchange for your assistance.
Like all advanced fee fraud scams, regardless of how many fees you pay, there will be no end to them and you'll never collect a large sum of money. The large fund does not exist.

Dear GXXXX,
My name is Sgt. Mckinney an American soldier with a Swiss Background and currently serving in the military with the Army 3rd Infantry Division.With a very desperate need for assistance, I am seeking your kind assistance to move some amount of money to you, as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, I just had to contact some one am not too familiar with and would also have a good business that's why I have decided to contact you.I am presently in a hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a suicide bomb attack.
I am writing this mail on my sick bed and got the access to a computer laptop with the help of a nice military staff nurse in the hospital.
Amount Involved:Nine Million One Hundred Thousand Million US Dollars
Source of money:
Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a farm house =
near one of Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation=
Cit was agreed by Staff Sgt. Alexander Cief that some part of this money =
be shared among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of =
us saw the money first.
Please view website for confirmation:
http://www.voanews.com/burmese/archive/ ... 20-1-1.cfm
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to move the money to a security company in Europe as a diplomatic baggage.They are now waiting for us to provide the name of beneficiary who they will release the funds to his/her possession.The reason i want you to claim the funds on my behalf is that as a soldier. i cannot present a concrete evidence on how i made such a big amount of money down here.I will let you know more information's once i get your positive consent.I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you rendered.
Please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldiers here in Iraq. I do not know how long we will remain here and i have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, i honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately.
Sincerely,
Sergeant Mckinney
