Subject: I need your assistance
Hello friend,
I hope you are fine. My name is Lydia ,from the US army. I came across your
contact online and I want to discuss something very important with you
because I will need a great help from you. Five years ago, I was on a
mission in Kabul, Afghanistan and was gifted by a very wealthy man. I
helped escape with family from danger and out of the country. The man was
so grateful to me for helping save his life, wife and two girls and for
that reason he gave me a box telling me that it's his way of appreciation
for what I did for him and family. When I opened it afterwards, it was cash
in dollar bills worth 2.4m. I couldn't believe my eyes but I thanked God
knowing that this is a turning point for me. It was hard for me to keep it
safe there since its a military camp and we only lived in tenths and
canopies and also it was improper and against the laws for me to keep such
there so i managed to asked the red cross team when they arrived to supply
us with medicine to help take it back home to New York but unfortunately
the team were asked to go to Australia from there and so i had no choice
than to allow the leader to whom i asked this favor to deposit the box with
a security company there in Australia. He did that and it was successful.
He didn't know the content in the box. I lied to him that i never know if i
will make it alive from the mission so in the box are some valuables of me
that i want to keep for my daughter and that's how the box was saved. It's
saved as family valuables in my name there at the security company in
Australia for a period of 5 years. Now the Company emailed me for pick up
because the due time is over and I can't help it now due to the fact that I
am currently on a joint mission with the US navy here at the black sea. I
don't want anything bad to happen to it either since that was the initial
agreement. I don't know what to do now since i can't trust this with anyone
from the military base back home. It can be used against me in the future
and I can lose everything I have worked for all these years. I have been
thinking about it since then and in conclusion i needed to find a reliable
person to help secure this box until my return in 5 months time. When I
came across your contact, I decided to give it a try by writing to you to
see if you can help me. Am counting on you that you will receive this box
and keep it safe with you till I return to meet you. Am offering you 30% of
the content. The security company has a diplomat that will bring it to your
address so you don't have to worry about how to get it. All I want from you
is your word that I can really trust you and that you will not betray me.
Let me know if I can really count on you so I can give you the details of
the security company to contact them and communicate on receiving the box.
I await your urgent reply.
Best regards
Lydia .
