Dear Friend.
Thanks for your mail and for accepting my offer. I apologize for my late reply, it was due to the fact that I was in the line duty. Since your last email to me on the month of December, I could not reply back because my troops were camping at the road to the Jordanian border that makes it difficult for me to check my mails.
I am ready now to transfer the money to you after due consideration. The total amount is $6.8million inside the 2 trunk boxes. I want you to send your bank account details to enable me transfer the money. This transfer will be done through the Bank of Baghdad, Iraq, to your corresponding bank, or through diplomatic courier services. This will not be sent once, I will transfer $500,000 each transfer.
When this transfer is completed, you will take 50% of the money and deposit the rest in your bank for me. I am giving you all the trust and I believe that with the help of God, we will successfully transfer this money out of Iraq. Please do not disclose this deal to anybody as to protect my duty with the US Marine. I took my picture and the money picture which is in attached file below for your confirmation.
I will be waiting to hear from you as soon as possible to proceed. Always contact me through my private email [email protected]
Thanks.
Major Anthony Anderson.

This email account didn't exist in February much less December, his ip points to the UK and take a gander at this picture he sent with the email

I've often wondered why the closer one is lined with 1950's wallpaper, maybe the lads need to be baited a Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen alike Laughing

That pic serves as at least one of the veteran member's AV

But my guess is the mugu got it in his lad starter kit

Wow, that's a lot of cash. I wonder how I can get my hands on that.

I'll bet there's a demurrage charge involved somehow.

True story, that box in the backround was originally empty in early versions of this picture. But the picture got a dollar for everytime it was sent in a scam quickly filling both boxes with money.
