Basically since we are working for the government we cannot keep these funds, we have decided to look for someone to help us keep this funds this is why I have contacted you, so you can keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account.

We will divide the total funds in three ways, since we are three involved in this. You will take 30%, and 30% will be for me, and my superior will take 30%. 10% will be kept aside for  expenses. This business is confidential, and it should not be discussed with anyone.

There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are interested i will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us.

This will be risk free.

Please reply me via this email: sergeant_ivshawn@militaryemail.com

Respectfully submitted

  1. I’ve got the same two days ago.
    I asked him for more details, and he sent me picture with more money than here, and copy of his driver license.
    Here is what he answered me:

    “Dear friend,
    Thanks for your mail and your interest in this transaction.
    As I told you in my proposal, this deal is risk free as the fund have been successfully deposited in a Security Company, and I give you my word that you will have nothing to regret if you keep this deal confidentiala dn keep to my directives.

    I will prefer that we communicate through email for confidential purposes. But I would like you to send me your full name and address, telephone/mobile and fax number to enable my Attorney use it and prepare a POWER OF ATTORNEY in your favor for me to forward to the security company authorizing them to release the consignment to you as my trustee and beneficiary.

    A copy of my drivers’ license and a picture of where my colleagues and I were counting millions of dollars stolen by Saddam Hussein are attached with this mail, please download the two attachments and see things yourself. Also send me a copy of either your international travelling passport or drivers’ license for record purpose.

    Note very important, you have to keep the content of this mail confidential.
    I await your urgent response and the required details as I stated above.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Respectfully submitted,
    Sgt. Irvin Shawn”

  2. Careful; spammers make lists of the people who respond to them and sell those lists as “pre-qualified gullibles” so you may have just vastly increased your spam load. But thanks for the update.
