New scam with a USA twist

Perhaps you would all like to reply to him!

FROM: Sgt. Irvin Shawn
EMAIL:sgtshawnirvin@militaryemail.com

Dear Sir,
Good day to you
My name is Irvin Shawn an American soldier serving in the US military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq. We have just been posted out of Iraq to Germany but I am presently in Kuwait at the mean time.
My superior and I moved some large funds belonging to Saddam Hussein,worth $25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five million US dollars)
This money is being kept safe in a security company. Click on this link to read about events that took place here.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

Basically since we are working for the government we cannot keep these funds, but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so that you can keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account. We will divide the total funds in three ways, since we are three involved.This means that you will take 30%, I will take 30%, and my superior will take 30%.
10% will be kept aside for expenses.

This business is confidential, and it should not be discussed with anyone.There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are interested i will send you the details as 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 as well a your contact details. This business is risk free.

Please reply me via this email for security reasons.

Respectfully submitted

Sgt. Irvin Shawn

What I wonder is, how much could the people who are stupid enough to fall for these scams possibly have in their bank accounts to swipe?

What I wonder is, if a soldier had $25,000,000 that he needed to keep hidden for a little while, why in the world would he email a complete stranger?!? Has he no family? No wife or girlfriend? No high school buddies?
