Dear Friend,
My name is (Staff Sgt) Jeffrey Rico, I'm an American soldier serving in the military with the
Army’s 3rd Infantry division Iraq but now redeployed to Afghanistan. I have a very desperate need
for assistance and have summed up courage to contact you.
I found your contact email in an address journal and I’m seeking your kind assistance to move the
sum of Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand European Currency (9.5Million Euros) to you as far as I
can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here because
since we are still in active service, we cannot keep this money in our bank account. Therefore, i
need a reliable and trustworthy person who could assist me to receive this money.
SOURCE OF MONEY: You can open the below website to confirm more of our discovery which was made
known to the government, but this particular one is a top secret:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near Saddam’s old
palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by Staff Sgt Kenneth Buff and I
that some part of this money be shared between both of us before informing anybody about it since
both of us saw the money first. This does not sound right to do but I tell you what! No
compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole, of which my
brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last time. The above figure was given to me as my
share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me but with the help of a British
contact working here and with his office enjoying some immunity, I was able to get the package out
to a safe private security company in UK and the money in question was packaged in 2 trunk boxes.
I have now found a very secured way of getting the package to you at home for you to pick up, and
I will discuss this with you when I ‘m sure that you are willing to assist me and that the money
will be well secured in your hands. I feel this is the right time to send this money home.
I have decided to give you 35% of the total amount while the remaining 65% will be held on trust by
you until after my service but I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the
assistance you will give to me if the 35% i offer you will not be enough for you. One passionate
appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody. Should you have reasons to
reject this offer, please and please, I beg you to destroy this message as any leakage of this
information will be too bad for the US soldiers in Iraq and even Afghanistan.
I do not know how long we will remain in this war, as each day looks horrifying with deadly
operation and battle against die hard militants and terrorists. Totally, we lost well over 4,500
men so far and I have survived two suicide bomb attacks and other forms of attack. This and other
reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help.
I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately. Please contact me as soon as possible via
email which is my only way of communication. My contacting you there is no risk whatsoever involve.
Can I trust you to ensure confidentiality of this transaction?.
Happy new year and wish you all the best!!
Best Regards,
Sgt Jeffrey Rico
