Re: Confidential
Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to
you as a surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it
carefully as the decision you make will go a long way to determine my
future and continued existence. Please allow me to introduce myself. I
am Mark Edwards, in 4th battalion, 64th armored regiment unit here
that patrols the Helmand province, Afghanistan. I am desperately in
need of assistance and summoned up courage to contact you. I found
your contact details in an address journal, and am seeking your
assistance to evacuate my boxes which contains some 15 gold bars, 20
pieces diamonds, 22 antiques, cash of $128,000 and 18 ancient
sculptures worth over $25 million, as far as I can be assured that it
will be safe in your care until I complete my service here in 3-6
months time. These valuables are not stolen and there are no dangers
involved.
Some of these valuables are my share during operations. A lot of
things are concealed at hidden locations here in the Helmand province,
and we discovered many things like this when we conducted foot
patrols. We agreed between ourselves that we will share some among us.
I know this might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you
what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our
lives in this hellhole, I have had colleagues die in my arms, others
mentally unbalanced and some paralysed forever. The above valuables
was given to me as my share and to keep concealing this kind of
valuables became a problem for me, so with the help of a lady who
works with the UN (her office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get
the boxes out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. She
does not know the real contents of the boxes as she believes that some
of it belongs to two dead colleagues, and others are my belongings for
retirement.
I have now found a good way of getting the boxes out of here, and I
don’t to delay further as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb
attacks. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted
me to reach out for help because I intend to get a good partner so we
can invest together when I finish my service. If it interests you then
contact me immediately and we would work out things but I pray that
you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship. Please
delete this message if you are not interested.

Sincerely,
Mark
