Subject: Hello,
Hello,
I am interested in establishing and operating a very viable business as a means of investment abroad, So I will need you to help me in this regard.
My preference is any good profit yielding business and I would appreciate any viable ideas you could come up with. I will also need you to help me look for properties like homes and lands for sale as I am proposing to invest the sum of (Ten Million, United States Dollars) ($10,000,000 USD) for this. I do not know if you can and will be of help to me.
I am Hughes Frank, an officer in the US Army presently serving in the Military with the Peace keeping force in Baghdad, Iraq.I urgently need your assistance in claim and safe keeping of $10 Million USD in a security vault in London United Kingdom.
I need your help in claim and safe keeping of two military trunk boxes containing the sum of $10,000,000.00 (Ten Million, United States Dollars) which was moved from Baghdad, Iraq to the United Kingdom, through a special arrangement with the US RED CROSS service. I received an e-mail from the security vault this morning to come in claim of the consignment I deposited with them since 2017 and I have just two weeks from now to claim these funds.
I don't have any family back in the U.S before joining the army and its difficult for me to travel to UK at within the time frame in claim of the fund with the security company in London and that why am contacting you. Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission and kindly furnish me with your full names, occupation, direct phone and any form of ID.
Please reply soon.
Regards,
General Hughes Frank
