You are like God sent to me today as I type this email for you. You may think this is too good to be real, but I am telling you today that as God lives, this is as real as the air both of us breathe
Let me start by Formally introducing myself to you. My name is Richard F. Murano, I am a HSBC Bank London External Auditor; I was invited by the United Nation Financial Committee to Audit Helima Security Storage Company in Bagdad (IRAQ). Prior to my Investigation I discovered that in 2004 two U.S soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division deposited a box Seized from an unknown Top Saddam Husseins aide with the company during the war. Both soldiers died on active Service, since then no one has come forward to claim this Box. This Box contains USD$23.8 million USD (Twenty Three Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).
I have used my Position to move this Box to a HSBC Affiliate Security Company in Africa (Lagos) to be delivered to United Arab Emirate (Dubai) or any designation of your choice or the fund transferred into any nominated bank account of your choice depending as we may agree; I did not let them know the content of the box. I deposited it as a family treasure kept for security reasons. As a staff of HSBC I cannot lay Claim to this Box (Money), but I can instruct that the box be delivered or transferred to you by Diplomatic means as the original depositor.
I got your Contact from your Local Internet Directory while searching for a reliable, trustworthy and Serious minded fellow to Assist and Partner with me to claim this Box. This will not involve any risk; as a staff of this Bank I will facilitate the easy release and hitch-free claim of this Box (Fund)
