Dear Friend,
I am Mack Ben, an Army contractor attached to the U.S. Army corps of engineers in Iraq. The reason why I’m explaining my findings to you are to seek for your assistance to enable you contributes immensely to the actualization of my dream.
On the 3rd day of April 2009, I and my group of men under my supervision were alerted on the need of some urgent reconstruction works in Haifa Street, a long thoroughfare of high-rise buildings built and occupied by Saddam Hussein when he was alive here in Baghdad.
Immediately we proceeded to the site and as we commence work to our utmost surprise we discovered a huge underground bunker in one of the buildings. Upon investigation of the bunker to our surprise we discovered one very lager box safely hidden and sealed together with numerous other boxes filled with different item, however I was attracted to the large box which was the only sealed box of them all, I told my men to open the box in order to find out the contents and when they were opened to our amazement the boxes contained US Dollars which amounted to $46M after time was taken to count them in bundles and rolls.
I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy so that we can have the money to our selves, they all agreed to the plan , I wisely took the decision f or us to share the money between our selves right there in the room to avoid suspicion in moving the very large box and that led me to having US$7.2 Million (US$7,200,000) as my own share of the money after which I concealed it in two boxes and decided to get the money out of the country but first I hid the money in a safe and untraceable location.
I am now in desperate 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 here. I cannot leave the boxes here in Iraq like most of my men have foolishly done due to many reasons one of which is because Iraq is getting unsafe and dangerous everyday and a full blown civil war among Shiites and Sunni Iraq is may start any moment.
I assure and promise to give you 20% of this fund, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this deal. Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret within you so that my job would not be jeopardized.
You are advised to contact me through my alternative email address, (mack.ben27@yahoo.com.hk) so we can work out the details.
My sincere regards,
Mack Ben
