Re: IMPORTANT FROM IRAQ
Dear Friend,
Good day to you. I respectfully implore you to treat this email with
utmost confidentiality and if you are unable to assist in any way,
please delete this message immediately and keep confidential.
Thank you. My name is Alex Carson I am an American soldier, serving in
the military with the 3rd Armored Division in Iraq. Sometime ago, I
and my superior moved funds belonging to Saddam Hussein's government,
in total of $25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five million US dollars), this is
for real and the money is being kept safe in a security company.

place here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
Basically since we are working for the government and cannot keep this
much funds, we have decided to look for someone to help us keep this
funds this is why I have contacted you, so you can keep it for us in
your safe account or better still in an offshore account.
We will divide the total funds in three ways, since we are three
involved in this. You will have 20%, 30% will be for me, and my
superior will have 40%. 10% will be kept aside for expenses. Do
remember that this business is confidential and should not be
discussed with anyone.There is no risk involved whatsoever.
If you are interested i will send you the full details, my job is to
find a good anonymous partner whom we can trust and will assist us in
this transaction.
Can we trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an
e-mail signifying your interest including your confidential
telephone/fax numbers to my very secure e-mail [email protected]
Respectfully submitted
Sgt. Alex Carson
