Sgt.James Clayton(Iraq)

Military Hosptial Iraq

Compliment,

I hope my email meets you well. My name is Sgt .James Clayton jr(American soldier). I am in the Engineering military unit here in Baghdad in Iraq , with Oesophageal cancer which has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few weeks to live, according to medical experts. My late 2 colleagues who died last week in a bomb blast and I found a huge sum of $25 Million USD in Baghdad neighbourhood ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm) that we have successfully moved out of the country via online banking transfer to a secure security and online finance institution in Spain. I am contacting you because i want you help me distribute them to charity organizations and homeless people.

I feel distributing the funds would be a way to appease the LORD and also want God to be merciful to me and my late friends and also accept our souls ,because we have killed so many in the war, but we where only serving our country. I have decided to give this sum 0f $25 Million USD to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.

I am single, as my family died in a car accident years ago, and i vowed on my son and wife grave never to get married, so then i joined the force. I guess it is time for me to go join my family as i see my beautiful wife and my son in my dreams.

I will want you to help me collect this funds and dispatched it to charity organizations like i have said earlier. I have set aside 25% for you and your time.5% for any expenses during the process of you getting the $25 Million USD.The most important thing is that can I TRUST you Once the funds get to you?, and also would you distribute the rest 70% to charity organizations?. Your own duty is to contact the SECURITY AND FINANCE on how the funds can be released and transfer to you,as the funds were insured by me for security measures. If you are interested I will furnish you with more details,so you are to send me all your full informations such as telephone,mobile,fax,country,occupation e.t.c.

But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times because if the authorities are aware of this funds, it would be seized and used for purchasing ammunitions and irrelevant accessories, whereby we have so many sick, homeless kids dying with hunger.

I am awaiting your urgent response on my private email address, [e-mail]

IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!
Regards.

SGT .JAMES CLAYTON

These bastards have no heart. EB

I posted one similar to this about a year ago-they still have not learned how to spell. You are right-HEARTLESS BASTARDS. Some people will fall for it, otherwise they'd have given up years ago.

Should have stuck this in the Nigerian letter file--this one will get lost out here all by itself.

I love how he wants to do the right thing with STOLEN MONEY. Got religion a bit late. Also, even funnier is the idea that that the military would warehouse a cancer patient in freakin' Bagdad. Guess these guys never heard of Wiesbaden.

It's also very unlikely that a soldier of US Army would use language in such a manner. Some of 'em might not be the smartest in the class, but it wouldn't be written as it is.

IF it were accurate, "Clayton" and his buddies would be guilty of looting, at the very least. Also, I wonder how they transferred US$25M, which they "found" so physical cash is implied, to Spain (of all places!). That much money isn't an insignificant wad of paper, and you can't transfer physical money electronically.

Heartless bastards? No. Bastards can be and often are nice people. Sick, heartless, greedy, money-grubbing...politicians! Yeah, they're just politicians.

Were it not so blatantly moneygrubbing, it would be funny.

Remind me not to write a scamming letter - in Spanish - to a Spanish speaker!
