Dear Friend,

With a very desperate need for assistance,I have summed up courage to contact you.I am presently in 
Iraq with the USA marine platoon;I found your contact particulars in an Address journal.I am 
seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $12.5m USD (Twelve Million Five hundred Thousand 
United States Dollars)to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I 
complete my service here.This is no stolen money,and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and 
ammunition at a location near one of Saddam's old palaces during a rescue operation,and it was 
agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us,this was quite an illegal thing to 
do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in 
this hell hole.

The above figure was given to me as my share,and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for 
me,so with the help of a German contact working here,and his office enjoys some immunity,I was able 
to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not know the real 
contents of the package,and believes that it belongs to an Asian American who died in an air 
raid,and before giving up,trusted me to hand over the package to his family.

There is a secured way of getting the package out to a safer country for you to pick up,and i will 
discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me.One passionate appeal I will 
make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party,should you have reasons to reject this 
offer.please destroy this mail as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us.

I do not know for how long we will remain here but hopefully before the year runs out,I have 
survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God,this and other reasons I will mention 
later has prompted me to reach out for help.

Please you can reach me on my personal e-mail address below for more information s.

Harry Barnes.
