Here is what I would like to get out to everyone...i recieved this email (posted)...stated it's from a Marine out in Iraq asking for help, but if you read further into it...you'll understand it's a LIE!!! I am hurt by this...I do have a brother out fighting in the war and people here are doing this in THEIR NAME!!! It's very upsetting. When I hit the reply button this is the email that came up...email this person if you are upset like I was and lets' band together to STOP this...PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE POOR AND JOBLESS.
EMAIL THAT WAS SENT TO ME...
Dear Friend,

My name is Sgt. Allen Higginbotham of The 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, I am serving in Iraq (Mosul) and I will need your assistance to take care of some financial matters for me and of course you will be adequately compensated. I have to urgently evacuate money the sum of $30, 000, 000.00 (Thirty million US dollars) clean legal notes and all in US$100 bills out of here to a safe place, having found a secure way to do so. 6 million US dollars (US$ 6, 000, 000) will be your share for rendering this assistance.

SOURCE OF MONEY: Some money in various currencies were discovered concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam's old palaces during a rescue operation several months ago and it was agreed by the few of us present that the money be shared amongst us, though this was an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we are taking with our lives in this hell hole.

The above figure was given to me as my share and for several reasons, concealing this volume of cash here has been a big problem/source of distraction to me. I have now found a temporary solution with the help of a lady who is working with an international organization here, She does not know the real contents of the packages used in concealing the funds and must not know rather believes that the packages belong to an Asian American who died in an air raid and before giving up, he trusted me to hand the packages as it is to his business associate in Europe.

One request I will like that you keep this information to yourself. Should you have any reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any leakage will be too bad for us. I want to have a very peaceful retirement life after my service here and I rely so much on this fortune to provide that for me. If this proposal is acceptable by you, I await your urgent e-mail so we can discuss more.
Semper Fi.
