Greetings,
My name is Major James Cooper. I am an American soldier, presently in
Afghanistan for the training, advising the Afghan forces and also
helping
in stabilizing the country against security challenges. With a very
desperate need for assistance, I have decided to contact you for your
kind
assistance to move the sum of (US$3,8000,000.00) Three Million Eight
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars to you for investment purpose if
I
can be assured that my interest will be protected until I complete my
service.
Some money in various currencies was discovered in boxes at a farmhouse
during a rescue operation we conducted in one of the attacks by the
terrorists and it was agreed by my colleagues and I that some part of
this
money be shared among us. 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. he does not know the
real
content of the package, and believes that it belongs to a British
/American
medical doctor who died in a raid here in Afghanistan, and before
giving
up, trusted me and hand over the box to me and I am not with any family
member to entrust this funds for safe keeping and for investment.
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 50% of the $3.8
million USD for your assistance.
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.
Please contact me as soon as possible with the following details:
Full Name:
Full Address:

God Bless you as I look forward to your positive response.
Truly yours,
Major James Cooper.
