Hello pal,

I need your assistance. I am SGT. David Bunt and I’m with the Engineering unit here in Ba’qubah Iraq for the United States. I have about 12.5 million US dollars that I want to move out of the country. I need a good partner, someone I can trust to actualize this venture. The money is from oil deal and legal.

But I am moving it by diplomatic means to your house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice using diplomatic courier services. But can I trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 30% out and keep 70% until i come to meet with you. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Mine is sending it to you.

If you are interested reply and I will furnish you with more details.

Urgently awaiting your response.

SGT. David Bunt

Note: I translated this message for you for you to understand me.

You translated the message for me? How nice! Did you translate it from American to Canadian or what?

I say you should run it back thru the translator. It loses something in the original.

It must have been run through some translator, because it’s pretty good english, spelling and grammar.

This scam still gets me. Hmm, I have millions of dollars that I want to smuggle out of the country. I need a partner. Someone I can trust with my millions. Someone who is closer to me than my own brother. But who can I trust? I know! A random person with an e-mail account! It’s… it’s… almost diabolical in how foolproof it is!
