Greetings,

My name is Sgt.Scott Lawson. I am an American soldier, presently in
Iraq for the protection of the US embassy and advise the Iraqi army in
relation to the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have decided to contact
you.

I found your contact details in an address journal. I am seeking your
kind assistance to move the sum of (US$38,000,000.00) Thirty-eight
Million United States Dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that
my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here,
this is no stolen money, and there is no danger involved.

Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a
farmhouse during a rescue operation we conducted in one of the attacks
by ISIS, and it was agreed by my colleagues and I that some part of
this money be shared among us before informing anybody about it. No
compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in
this part of the world.

The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind
of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British doctor
working with Red Cross, I was able to get the package out to a safe
location entirely out of trouble spot.

I have now found a much-secured way of getting the package out to you
for pick up, and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you
are willing to assist me. I am ready to compensate you with 30% of the
$38 million USD for your assistance. One passionate appeal I will make
to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have
reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this message as any
disclosure of this information will be too bad for my colleagues and
I.

I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot,
wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of
God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to
reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved
immediately.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Full Address:

God Bless you as I look forward to your positive response.

Truly yours,
Sgt. Scott Lawson
