Hello,

My name is Sgt.George Morgan, an American soldier, I was serving in the military
of the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. I am in Europe at the moment, I and my
partner moved one of the boxes containing funds which we believe is belonging to
Saddam Hussein in March 2003, the total fund in this box is $18,600,000.00
(Eighteen million, Six Hundred Thousand US dollars), this fund had been moved
via a safe Courier Service to a secured security company, Click on this

Basically since we are working for the American government we cannot keep these
funds, since we are 2 that is involved, you will be the 3rd partner. This means
that you will take 30 percent, I will take 30 percent, and my partner will take
30 percent and 10 percent will be kept aside for any expenses.

This business is confidential, and we plead that it should not be discussed with
anyone. There is no risk whatsoever involved as we left this fund in the
Security company without declaring it's contents for this period of time to make
sure that the fund will be safe for transfer and investment. If you are
interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner
that we can trust and will assist us. kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
interest including your telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also
your contact details. I assure you that this transaction is risk free and its
success is 100% guaranteed,Please help us to help you.

Please get in touch with me immediately.

Yours-in-service,
Sgt.George Morgan.

FROM: SERGEANT KELVIN BELL.
Camp MXP-512 Third Infantry Division Unit(T.I.D.U),
Abul Uruj, Baghdad, Iraq.

I am Sergeant KELVIN BELL, a native of the United Kingdom. But a citizen and resident of the US. I am a soldier of the America troop currently serving in the third infantry division Unit in Iraq. I am currently on duty break. My partner Darren D. Braswell,36, ofRiverdale, Ga., died Jan. 7th near TalAfar,Iraq, when the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter in which he was a passenger crashed. Braswell worked For the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, Before his death We secretly moved some abandoned cash in a mansion belonging to the former president,Saddam Hussein.

As I write this letter to you, this box is in a security company as I secretly moved it out of Iraq to a safe place. You do not have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and everything is safe. I would be pleased And grateful to you if you could assist me and My late partner Darren D. Braswell in receiving this box for us on your behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my colleagues. Of course, I shall compensate you with an attractive percentage of the total funds for your role/efforts.

We have limited time now, kindly get back to me immediately. Moving the funds out of here is not going to be much of a problem as arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust and assurance that if the box containing the funds is in your possession, you will follow my instruction when making expenses. please get back to me with your full name, address and contact phone number (cell phone, preferable) without delay and lets negotiate terms. Your response will determine our subsequent correspondence.

You can read more on this website for more information and explanations.
