Subject: I’ m seeking your assistance
Hello,
I m seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $4.5M. (Four
Million Five Hundred United States Dollars) and (999.9 CERTIFIED GOLD
BARS AND DIAMOND) to you, as far as I can be assured that it will be
safe in your care until we complete our service here. As soon as you
have the cash gold and diamond on your care you have yours and keep
mine until we conclude our service.
I agreed to offer you a reasonable percentage (40%) of the total sum
of money, while we share the gold bars and diamond 50%-50% as
gratification for your assistance and cooperation. Its $100 bills
throughout and (999.9 CERTIFIED GOLD BARS AND DIAMOND) it's contained
in Two Trunk boxes. I'm thinking of tagging the boxes as Swift
Military Consignment/Courier with Vatican Seal as Red Cross container
to deliver to your mailing address as Christian Artifact Material. It
will be done this way to ensure a maximum safety and ship it out of
Afghanistan through a special diplomatic scheme. Please respond as
soon as possible because I don't like the boxes to continue to be here
for security purposes due to the volume of Taliban bombings here in
Afghanistan.
I advise you to please keep this issue highly confidential. Diplomatic
shipment is a very secure and legal way of sending the Trunk box of
money out of here (Afghanistan), Please do confirm to me if this is
quite acceptable by you so that I can start making arrangements
immediately to have the Trunk box shipped out of Afghanistan.
Delicate matter like this in the care of a stranger, but this is the
best we can do in my present situation. I would have trusted this kind
of project in the hands of my wife who was my closest confidant, but I
lost her to cancer on 22ND April 2017 (9) months after we got married,
and my only brother has ruined his life with hard drugs, these are the
reasons I decided to work with a neutral person if we can establish
some trust between ourselves instead of confiding in my buddies back
home so that this little secret can be preserved. I awaits your
immediate confirm of your willingness to cooperate with me in this
project.
I am counting on your understanding and full cooperation in order to
make this work faster.
Kind regards.
Captain Derrick Porter,
United States Soldier on Peace Keeping in Afghanistan.
