Subject: FROM Sgt.PAUL HUNTER

Good day,

We are American soldiers fighting in Iraq serving in the military of the
1st Armored Division. The saga of rise in death tolls should not be news
to you and i am sure you will not find this mail worrisome. We have seen
so much in our days of stay here and no matter how much we paint the
picture, you will never understand. During our invasion of Saddam
Hussien's family house, we recovered over 30 million United States
dollars in cash and mostly in 100 dollar bills. This discovery was not
made public neither was it made in one search. Most of the funds were
taken by our superiors and we can not authoritatively or emphatically
make overt statements concerning the money. But it will
interest you to know that we have 7 million dollars which we have safely
secured. Now every month we have supplies of food, drinks,blankets etc
from aids in Europe,the US and other allegiant countries. These
deliveries are made by high commissioners and diplomats. After they have
made the delivery to us they naturally depart. Now we have been able to
make acquintance with two of the diplomats. These diplomats arrived from
USA with supplies to us and are due for departure. We have safely
secured the sum of 7 million dollars in 100 dollar bills in boxes and we
will be
handing over the money to the diplomats to deliver in
USA,CANADA,EUROPE,AFRICA OR ASIA Note: the diplomats are not aware of
the contents of the boxes and we have informed them that our associate
will be picking up the boxes for us in USA ,CANADA,EUROPE,AFRICA OR
ASIA. Once you are capable of receiving this, you will have to give us
your full names, your phone number and your particulars as we will pass
them on to the diplomats. Note also that these diplomats are not
American citizens and you will have to meet them at the airport as they
will only be transiting in USA ,CANADA,EUROPE,AFRICA OR ASIA So once you
have gone through this mail. Mail us immediately and we will work our

Thank you.andGod bless

Subject: Required California form

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

Thank you for your email.

I have to confess something.
I have been a cowboy all my life and have done some pretty bad things.
I am currently on parole for cattle rustling (stealing).
Two years ago, while working on a ranch in Crawford, Texas,
I stole some cattle from the ranch and sold them to a Mexican buyer.
I was caught, sentenced to 1 year in jail, and released on parole.

I went into the Bernadino Western Union office this morning and they told
me that I needed a form filled out by the recipient of the money.

The reason is because I am on parole and the money is going out of the
United States.

A condition of my parole is that I have to report any of my financial dealings
of over $200 to my state parole officer. The state has a required form which
must be filled out by the recipient for me to submit to my parole officer
and to Western Union.

Please ask the two gentlemen to fill out the attached form and
return it to me.

Sincerely,

William

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

Thank you for your emails and California forms.

There was a bad dust storm in the area of the ranch today,
and the telephone lines have gone down in several places.
Since we are located around 40 miles from the nearest town,
the telephone company gives us low priority in fixing the lines.
Also, cell phones do not work here because of the surrounding
mountains.

We expect the telephone lines to be fixed next week.

I could not get to Western Union today.
I will try again tomorrow.

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

Thank you for your emails.

I am sorry that I have not replied to your last emails quickly.
I have been trying to raise the money you requested, but I do have to work
on the ranch.

I spent the last two days escorting two mining engineers around the
ranch property.

They are looking at an old gold mine which operated during the 1880's and 1930's.

Our greedy ranch owner thinks he can reopen the mine and make a lot of
money from it because the price of gold has gone way up.

The ranch manager has arranged that I should get a large bonus payment for
assisting the engineers with their assay.

Western Union number

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

Did the gentlemen Andrew Williams or Leonard Mbeki go into the
Western Union office in London to check on the money?

I went into the Western Union office this morning to ask about the payment
I sent last Wednesday December 12.
She said it might not show up in England for a few days.

The manager found the receipt and it does have the same number 1123581312.
She would not let me use their scanner to scan the receipt.

I took it over to the library where I use the computer but they do not
have a scanner.

Sincerely,

William

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

I have attached a scan of the Western Union receipt for you.
This one is for Andrew Williams.

I split the amount for the two men as you instructed.

I only sent the Andrew amount to see if it worked before
sending the amount to the other man.

Since we seem to be having problems with Western Union,
I will wait until you clear Andrew's money before sending

There has been a lot happening at the ranch

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

There has been a lot happening at the ranch which is why I have not
been able to reply to your emails.

I was promoted to ranch manager last week with an increase in salary.
I will be partly working in the ranch office and will have access to the
ranch computer.

I also have been escorting two mining engineers around the ranch property
who are looking at an old gold mine which operated during the 1880's and 1930's.
Our greedy ranch owner thinks he can reopen the mine and make a lot of
money from it because the price of gold has gone way up.
I have been empowered by the ranch owner to arrange some of the financing
for the mine.

Many of our cowboys have been town celebrating Christmas and I have had
to make trips into Bernadino to bail them out of jail or bring them back
to the ranch.

Sincerely,

William

Western Union office

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

I went into Bernadino today to visit the Western Union office

I guess that this is a small town and Western Union does not feel the
need to keep the office open during the holiday period.

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

I could not travel to England due to circumstances which occured at the ranch.

A mountain lion has been seen and we are attempting to capture or kill it before
it starts attacking the cattle.

The ranch has a telephone connection but it is not very good.
I am not allowed to call outside so we will have to use email to communicate.

In an emergency you can leave a message for me at 1-206-202-4242,

Dear Sgt. Paul Hunter;

I have been working hard at the ranch and have more money now,
so I might be able to send the money, but you would have to do a
favor for me.

The ranch owner has asked me to look for investors in a gold mine
which is located on the ranch property.

I have told him I would help out the ranch with our mine project.

Could you have a photograph of yourself or one of your staff holding
the attached "White King" sign.

This would show that I have been actively contacting people.

You will NOT have to invest in the mine,
I only need some evidence that I have made a "sales pitch" to an
"international" investor.

This would really help me out here at the ranch.

Sincerely,

William
