Anything Nigerians can do, Yanks can do cheesier

Snickers Man

I'm sure we've all had the e-mail in the post from the widow of the former Nigerian dictator asking for our help in smuggling a few million in dodgy cash out of the country.

This just popped into my e-mail.

What is it with these muppets? Do they think we'll fall for it just because it says "God Bless America" at the bottom?

Enjoy


Hello My Dearest Friend,

I am sending you this e-mail to solicit for assistance, which will be of immense benefit to both of us. I am Sgt Ray Jarvis Ayu from the Engineering unit, the US 3rd Infantry Division Ba'qubah military base Iraq.

As you know we are being attacked by insurgents on daily basis coupled with (Improvised explosive device) explosives we encounter almost every day this has been responsible for the loss of US/British Soldiers more that combat confrontations.
After the fall of Saddam Hussein, we discovered various amount of funds running into millions of dollars which we returned to the new (Iraqi Government) as you can checkout details on the British broadcasting corporation BBC website :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
http://www.militaryconnections.com/news_story.cfm?textnewsid=314

However, when the situation became critical and we began to loose soldiers on daily basis, I decided to keep some fund we discovered. The total amount in my custody is US$18.5million dollars in cash which i want to move out of the country. This money was acquired from the crude oil proceeds and it is legal.

My partners and I need a good partner who will not betray our trust and confident to actualize this venture. We have concluded and solidify positive arrangement to move this out of Iraq through a high secured immunity. In order to move this money out to a receiving point, we need you to send just your name in full, state, country and telephone number so that we can move out this fund in your name out from Iraq and then arrange on how to transfer the fund or deposit the fund in a bank outside Iraq and raise a certified cashier's check in your name.

The Iraq banking system is very poor at present and we can not transfer the fund from any bank in Iraq due to the present banking situation and for some security reasons Immediately you received the money, we shall share the money 70%-30% sharing ration that is you will take 30% while 70% is for me and my colleague. On your own part this deal is safe and legal and this transaction will be highly classified. If you are interested I will furnish you with more details and we proceed as scheduled.

I wait for your immediate response.

Your's Buddy.

I probably should have replied to that one in all honesty. I have messed with a few of them before, and that was a prime target!
