Subject: "Small Metallic Box with a Lock Code"
Hello,
I am (Dr) Tim Howards, a Specialist Doctor / official currently serving in
the medical department of the United Nations with the Syrian Government.
By a search order on the buildings that was occupied by rebels, some boxes
containing Gold Bars and huge sum of money in US Dollars were found hidden
somewhere in these buildings. These Gold Bars were handed over to the
Syrian Government while the money was shared among the officials who
witnessed this operation, as a reward and compensation for the defeat of
these rebels.
My share of the Reward and Compensation is US$4.8M, packed in a "Small
Metallic Box with a Lock Code."
Our superior officials have ordered and advised us to send the money out
of the camp immediately because of the weekly inspections of the UN Secret
Service Agents. In order to avoid trouble, this huge sum of money MUST not
be kept here in Camp as it is now deposited with a Security Company.
With your assistance i hope to invest this money as i am willing to offer
you 10% (US$480,000.00) of the value for your help in getting this money
from camp. I want you to receive and keep my box in a safe place until I
can leave camp and come to meet in your country. This is very confidential
and a top secret.
Waiting for your quick response.
(Dr) Tim Howards
UN Specialist
