Subject: Dear Sir/Madam!
Dear Sir/Madam!
I got your email from the Chambers of Commerce business directory, so I
decided to urgently contact you for an urgent and confidential business; I
am Sgt. James Rudy, I was stationed at the Medical Department of the U.S
Army 54th Battalion in Afghanistan.
Prior to the instruction to withdraw the majority of our troops back to
the United State from Afghanistan under gradual process, I see an urgent
need to repatriate my assets and valuable amount of money which I was able
to achieve during my time in the service; This amount was currently
stocked in a private security vault in Kabul.
The fact that once I take my leave from here I will not in any way be able
to get back here because Afghanistan is not a safe place that one can
travel to at will; so I am trying all my best to be able to evacuate
everything I’ve earned during my time here to a safe hand before my
departure from here.
The covid 19 outbreak has made it so difficult for me to facilitate this
arrangement until yesterday that I was able to make arrangements with a
friend of mine here that works with the Red Cross Organization whom
connected me with their management and had agreed that they are going to
assist me to evacuate my belongings under a good arrangement hence I am
able to present a reliable person that will be receiving for me in the
outside here.
You may be wondering why I have decided to contact you with this since we
have never met before; I would have entrust this to my lovely wife who
seems to be my partner and everything but unfortunately I lost her to a
lung cancer challenge about few years ago, and my only brother has been
ruined by hard drug and so he is not the type that I can entrust such kind
of money that I hope to restart my life with after the set back that this
covid 19 is going to cause the nation entire economy.
Full details such as the amount, the source of the money and the necessary
arrangements that I have made with the Red Cross to evacuate the money
will be relayed to you immediately I hear back from you.
This is very urgent and confidential; you can get back to me on the
following email for confidential reasons: [email protected]
Yours sincerely
Sgt. James Rudy
