You too can be a criminal

Not only is this email playing on your feelings for our armed forces, but it is asking you to become a criminal and defraud the government. Granted this would make a great movie. Oops, they already did make that movie.

Dear Friend,

I am an American soldier, In foreign service with the  Third infantry Division in Iraq, I and my superior
moved part of discovered funds belonging to fleeing  regime leaders in Iraq, the total amount is
$25,000,000.00 US dollars.

This money is being kept safe in a secured location we  would disclose to you later.You can go through this
web link to understand events that took place in Iraq.

Basically, since we are in government service and we  are not allowed to have or keep discovered looted
funds around us, we have decided to look for someone  to help us relocate and keep this funds for us, that
is why I have contacted you, so that you can keep it  for us in your safe account or custody untill we
complete our foreign service in Iraq.

You will take30%, while 70% will be for me and my  partner.This business is confidential, and it should
not be discussed with anyone. There is no risk  involved whatsoever as it is only me and my partner
that knows the present location of the money.

If you are interested I will send you operational  details, my job is to find agood partner that we can
trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? To  ensure confidentiality, when you receive this
letter,kindly reply me via e-mail:signifying your  interest including your phone and fax numbers for
quick communication and also your physical locational  address.

Respectfully,

Sgt Tony Benson
