Here's a scam that turns my crank - because the troops are were we can't or don't want to be. They're giving and sacrificing to the degree where scammers and low lifes should be sentenced to do time for scamming us like this:
Dear Friend,
I am Captain Brian James of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace –keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq.
On the 26th day of November 2006, we were alerted on the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not too far from Karbala here in Iraq . After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists, twenty-six (26) were killed leaving seven (7) injured.

In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for  late Ayman al-Zawahiri  and  took us to a cave in Karbala which served as their camp. Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including some boxes among which two contains suspected Chemical weapons, one filled  with hard drugs(cocaine) and the other four to my amazement contain some US Dollars amounting to $7.2M after I and two of my junior intelligent officers counted them. I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy.

I am in keen need of a “Reliable and Trustworthy” person like you who would receive,  secure and protect these boxes  containing the US Dollars for me up on till my assignment elapses in here in Iraq. I assure and promise to give you 14% of this fund, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this business..

Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission. Contact me through my personal email:

Sincere regards,
Capt.Brian James.
