    $25 Million Dollars coming my way! YESSSSSS!

    Dear Friend,

    Good day to you. I am sure This mail will definitely be coming to you as a
    surprise,but i must crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you. I am
    Lance Corporal Alan Tyler, an american soldier, currently serving in the
    third infantry division in Iraq. The reason why I am contacting you via this
    media is because it is anonymous. I can't contact my friends and family back
    home as they are listed as acquitances in my military file and to contact
    them may compromise the confidentiality of this transaction. I am currently
    in Kuwait on duty break. I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned
    cash in a mansion belonging to the former president, Saddam Husein and the
    total cash is $25 Million USD.

    As I write this letter to you, this box is here with me in cash as I
    secretly moved it out of Iraq to Kuwait. You do not have to be afraid of
    anything as no one else knows about this and everything is safe. I would be
    pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this box for
    us on your behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my
    collegues. Of course, I will give you some money for your efforts.

    Moving the funds out of here is not going to be much of a problem as
    arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust
    and assurance that if the box gets to you, you can keep it in a safe place
    until our arrival. I have to stop here for now. We have limited time now,
    kindly get back to me immediately.

    In God we trust,

    Lance Corporal Alan Tyler

    An interesting new take - much better than the African Millionaire versions!

    Huh. He can't have been much good at English (American?), there are absolutely loads of grammatical errors.

    Was it an email, or snail mail? 'Cause both are flawed: where would he have internet access, and a letter going to him in Iraq, from someone he doesn't actually know...someone'll see that there's something dodgy.

    What a complete 'tard

    That is actually a damn good point. But still, that was formal (probs) and here isn't, so some people (myself included) can't be arsed with writing properly.

    What's interesting is he hasn't asked for a deposit YET.
    He's asked for a reply, so he knows I'm interested....
    Shall I do a bit of Baiting?

    Don't keep the guy waiting. Send him your account number and password so he can transfer the funds

    Its definitely a fake because there is no way a member of the US army could write so coherently

    It might be true, Saddam was obviously a very silly man (afterall, who would leave all that cash lying around ? Surely he would have deposited it at the Post Office or somewhere with steady interest prospects ?) who got his fingers burnt !! Maybe the WMD's are hidden there also and if you deposit a small amount as an extra they may be able to send you some nasty chemicals too !!?
    Hark the children of the Resolution !!

    American forces don't have lance corporals (we, British do, and a few other countries), they have PfC (private first class).

    Of course it's poss that he's an American serving in the British forces, but I really doubt that.

    It does make a change from the usual Nigerian based scams.
