Subject: Hello, Can i trust you?

Hi
It
is quite unfortunate that I contacted you with this proposal even when
we hardly know ourselves. However, I took this decision because I have
no other option at this moment.
My name is David ( Sergent, US
ARMY). In a nutshell, I am an American soldier serving in the military
with the army 3rd infantry division. With a very desperate need for
assistance,
I found your contact particulars during my email
search and summoned up courage to contact you for your kind assistance.
Sincerely, some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels
at a farmhouse near one of Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a
rescue operation, it was agreed by staff Captain Edward Ballanco and I
that some part of this money will be shared among both of us before
informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first. This
was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation
can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell
hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomber.
for confirmation:http://www.voanews.com/burmese/archive/2003-04/a-2003-04-20-1-1.cfm
I
am presently in a hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a
suicide bomb attack few weeks ago and major reason for contacting you
is that I need you to help me move US$12.4 million my share of the
recovered money.
At the moment, with the help of a British
agents on diplomatic assignment here in Iraq few years ago, I was able
to move the money to a secure and safer ground in United Kingdom. I
stached the money into two trunck boxes and sealed them up, i told the
british agent that it belonged to am american Doctor who died here and
the doctor wanted me to help him make sure his family back in the
states gets his things and i wanted him to help me send it to the
family of the late doctor since i am still here and very busy,the boxes
have been with him for soo long now, i was hoping we will be called
back home and i can artrange to claim the boxes myself, but we seem to
be hooked here.The British agent does not have any idea of the content
of the boxes with him till now, he has just been waiting for me to
present anyone to him as the family of the late Doctor so he can send
the boxes to them.
So if you wanna help me, tell me how much you
want out of the US$12.4 million for helping me and email me these
informations so i can send an email to the Agent in United Kingdom and
have him send the boxes to you.
1. Your full name and Age
2. Contact address
3. Telephone number.
Now
most importantly, i want you to know that i have to be able to trust
you on this, so i need your word of trust that you will not get this
money and run on me, and that you will keep this a secret and very
confidential to yourself alone.
Yours in Service.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
