Rich beyond my wildest dreams!

I am SO lucky that Sgt John Owen chose me for this...I am sending all my info including my identity card as he requested

"My Dear Friend,
I wish to use this opportunity to solicit for your good assistance in a business deal which will be of immense benefit to both us if you cooperate with me and be very honest with me.

First let me introduce my self. My name is Sgt. John Owen, I am an United Nation soldier with Israeli background, serving in the military with the 3rd infantry division under the United Nations peace keeping Force in Baghdad Iraq. I am with a very desperate need of your assistance urgently. As I speak now, I have the sum 25.5M (Twenty Five Million Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars) stocked in a trunk box in a security company in Iraq waiting to be shipped into your custody via diplomatic courier carriage system, provided you can guarantee the safety of the fund and assure me that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my assignment here. This is not a stolen money, and there is no danger involved, I can assure you it's 100% risk free.

SOURCE OF MONEY: few of my military colleagues and me exported millions of crude oil barrels illegally from Iraq as the fight was going on. We sized the little opportunity that came our ways to make millions of dollars for our selves. But because, we have no registered oil company coupled with the fact that we are serving soldiers in Iraq. We cannot deposit millions of dollar into bank without explaining where we got it from which may lead to investigation confiscation of the fund by the government, so we decided to package the money in a trunk box and deposited in a security company here in Iraq for safe keeping.

This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week. The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a big problem for me, so with the help of a British contractor working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to package the money to a safer location in Security Company.

Until date, no body knows that the box contains a lot of money because I lied to the security company that the box contains only (FAMILY EFFECTS/TREASURE). You are the first person I am telling this because I need your assistance to take this box out of Iraq before they will discover that it contains a lot of money.

I decided to contact you because I know that you are in good business which is exactly where I want to invest the said fund after the deal is completed. I also know that with your vast experience, you are capable of handling the deal and as well. For your good assistance I am going to offer you 35% of the total sum of (US$15.2) as contain in the box after the deal, while the remaining 65% will be for me
If you're in agreement with me, then get back to me immediately and send me your full names, phone number, delivery address including you identity card so that we can progress immediately with deal.

One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to accept or reject this offer please.
Sincerely yours,
From Sgt. John Owen"

I got one of those the other day (Top), I'd tell you what part of the person's body needs cut off for using the military (mine was from a fictional US soldier) in these scams but I'd get banned

You're buying the wings and brats for the Claremont get-together!!!!!

My wife actually got a $35,000 "Certified Check" from one of these knuckleheads. All she had to do was cash it and then send a few hundred to the sender to cover the processing and handling for the sweepstakes she had won. She had not even entered any sweepstakes! She took it by the bank and showed them and they told her to shred it.

just got this one two minutes ago.......

Mr.James Edward
Lagos-Nigeria.

ATTN: Sir /Madam


I know this will come to you as a surprise but never mind, I got your Contact in
my search for a reputable and trust worthy person/Company,Who can stand
confidently with mae in this successful business Arrangement. Before I proceed,
I will like to introduce my humble self To you.

I am the Auditor General of a Government Accredited Oil Company here in Nigeria.
Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored on my strong desire
to solicit your sincere understanding and co-operation in this Transaction that
would certainly boost the financial stand of both parties involved when
completed. As a matter of fact, we want to transfer to overseas
(US$52,000.000.00 USD) fifty two million United States Dollars) from the Oil
Company's operating Bank account here in Africa, I want you to quietly Look for
a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to Provide either an
existing bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C Immediately to receive this
money, even an empty account can serve to Receive this money, as long as you
will remain honest to me till the end Of this important transaction, trusting in
you and believing in God That you will Never let me down either now or in the
near future.

In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a Floating fund
of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the Bank in 1990 and since
then; nobody has operated on this account again, After going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the Money in the account was mapped out
for the refurbishment of the Oil Company's Machineries. Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus
Leon, the President of the Oil company was the Only signatory to the account,
but unfortunately he died after a brief Illness in 1993. And no other person
knows about this account or any Thing concerning it, and the account has no
other beneficiary. And my investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus Leon, until
his death Had wanted to siphoned that money into his personal account in New
York Hence he did not disclose the operating devises of the account to the Board
of Trustees.

I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are A
foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner Who can
present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of Kin/Beneficiary
to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon The owner of this account
is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved into a foreign bank Account.
Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me, lets Make
the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this Money to any safe
bank account that you may nominate, on a share Percentage bases. However, we
shall sign a binding agreement, to bind us Together as partners in this regard.

I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let Me down
in this business, you are the first and the only person that I Am contacting for
this business, so please reply urgently and indicate Your sincere interest, so
that I can inform you on the modalities Already mapped out for the hitch-free
transfer of the money out of Africa here.I will require your direct phone and
fax number for easy contacting you I need your full co-operation to make this
work adequately. Upon your Positive response and once I am convinced that you
are capable and Willing to meet up with the instructions of the top bank
official that is deeply involved with me in this business, I shall commence
actions Immediately to process the payment of the money in your favor as the
Beneficiary With my influence and the position of the bank official we can
transfer This money to any reliable foreign bank account, which you can provide.


I am looking forward in anticipation to hearing from you soon as Possible.

Yours truly,

Mr.James Edward

Man you beter jump on that! 15 mill just like that! lol... You know's sad, is these people do this because there are actually some retards out there that do it and get scammed.

What even more funny is the guy is offering "35%" of 25.5 million? Says you get 15.2 mill??? 35% of 25.5m is only $8,925,000.00 not 15 mill... Man your getting a heck of a deal!!!

You guys laugh. My, no-so-bright, sister in law sent one of these bums 5 grand over the course of a couple of months. She never got anything back, so beware. She was so convinced that she had hit the jackpot, she bought 4 cars and ran up $90 grand in credit card charges. All this without having a job or any other means of support. Wonder why we are in the tank right now!!!!! Some counselor convinced her she was a nut, found an attorney for her and now she gets SSI every month. Doesn't have to pay a dime of her debts according to the attorney and no one can touch her SSI money. Guess us working stiffs get to pay her bills. Pardon me while I puke.
