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
