-- until the SPAMmers pulled a Sgt Brickks, from todays email
Good Day, I hope my email meets you well.
I am in need of your assistance. My name is Sgt M.Brickks Jr, I am in the Engineering military unit here in Ba'qubah in Iraq.
We have about $18.8 Million US dollars (Eighteen million,eight hundred thousand US dollars) that we want to move out of the country.
I need a good partner, someone we can trust because It is a top confidential transaction and we are moving it through diplomatic means to send it out from here completely using diplomatic courier service with the help of the finance firm where it is presently deposited.
The most important thing is that can we trust you once the funds get to you?,
Your own part of this deal is to act as the foreign beneficiary to sign and receive the fund on our behalf and our own part is sending it to you.
We have agreed to give you 30% of the total fund for helping us and additional 5% for any expenses which you might incur as a result of this transaction including all sundry expenses.
If you are interested I will furnish you with more details but the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times and top secret.
The fund at present is under the custody of a finance company security vault and I want a straight answer from you if you will be interested to make his deal successful for us, you respond and send to me your name, address and phone number.
I look forward to your reply and co-operation and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation. Email:(sgt_q7@yahoo.co.uk)
Regards,
Sgt M.Brickks
There's really no event that these people won't try and turn to their advantage is there?
... and no end to idiots who will take them up on the offer.
