Hello,

I am James Randall Shay, a staff Captain in the US Army presently serving in Syria as a combat instructor, I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy, this might come as a surprise to you, but nothing is more distressing to me at this time as I find myself forced by events beyond my control, I have summoned the courage to contact you. I am a 50 years old man and a single father with a daughter who is now 14 years of age.

Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farmhouse in the Middle East during a rescue operation in Iraq War, and it was agreed by Staff Sergeant Kenneth Buff and myself and other parts of the teams, some part of this money is shared between us, I was given a total of ($800,000 Thousand US Dollars) as my own share, I kept this money in a consignment for a long while with a security company which I declared and deposit as my personal effects and it has been secured and protected for years now with the diplomatic Delivery Service.

Now, the WAR in Iraq is over, and all possible problems that could have emanated from the shared money have been totally cleaned up and all file closed, all that was discovered in the Middle East is no more discussed, am now ready to retire from active services by the end of this month, but, I need a trustworthy person that can help me take possession of this funds and keep it safe while I work on my relief letters to join you so that we could discuss possible business partnership together with the money.

But I tell you what! No compensation can make up for the risk we are taken with our lives. You can confirm the genuineness of the findings by clicking on this web site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

I’m seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of US$800,000 Thousand Dollars to you as far as I can be assured that the money will be safe in your care until I complete my service here in (SYRIA). The most important thing is; “Can I trust you”?, As an officer on ACTIVE DUTY am not allowed access to money, therefore, I have declared the content of the consignment as a personal effect that I would like to be delivered to a friend. You will be rewarded with 30% of these funds for your help, all that I required is your trust between us till the money gets to you. While you will assist me to invest the remaining 70% of my total fund lucratively in your country according to your good directives.

Sincerely,
Capt. James Randall Shay.
