Nigerian scam goes Iraqi

[TreasonousBastard]

Got this in the mail today. WHOIS tells me it originated in Houston and I've forwarded it to abuse at the ISP down there.

Now, if the spooks spying on us for terroristic threats in our emails could get a handle on the scammers and spammers out there, maybe some good can come from this PATRIOT Act bullshit.

Important Message
To President / Managing Director..

Good day,

My name is John Smith, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, As you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussien's family. The total amount is
US$25 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our
share for banking.

We will take 50%, my partner and I. You take the other 50%. no strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a warzone. We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in one large silver box, using diplomatic immunity.

If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter,kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs.

Respectfully,


Sgt.John Smith Fitte.

Dear sir/madam,
This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but i must
crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you.
I am Miss Marah sadija, former mistress to the son (Qusay) of the
Iraqi former leader, Saddam Hussein.
I am an Ethiopian, by birth and i am presently in a refugee camp in
Zimbabwe, where the living conditions are unbearable.
I do not wish to take your time with a lenghty mail, but i have to
put this proposal to you so that you can assist me.
While i was still in contact with Qusay,he made a deposit in my
name to a security firm in Spain, which has an affiliate branch in
Amsterdam.
This deposit was made in my name and the secret code and necessary
documents are presently in the possession of an attorney, presently in
London.
This deposit was made in the form of a consigment and the content is
a considerable amount of money in United state dollars which i cannot
disclose to you for security purposes, until you have confirmed your
willingness to assist me.
I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist me in
collecting this consignment on my behalf from the security firm in
Spain,
upon which i will be offering you a percentage for your efforts.
The attorney in London, will arrange an authority to release and pay
in your name which you will tender to the security firm coupled with
all necessary documents that will back up your claims in collecting
this consignment on my behalf.
I have to stop here now as your response will determine our
subsequent corresspondence. Please feel free to dis-regard this
proposal if it is not in line with your principles.
PLEASE RESPOND TO [e-mail]
Allah bless you,
Marah Sadija.
