Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 12:40 PM
Subject: FROM SGT .JAMES CLAYTON ( UPDATE )

Hello Dearest One,


I hope my email meets you well. My name is Sgt .James Clayton jr. I am in
the Engineering military unit here in Baghdad in Iraq , with Oesophageal
cancer which has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I
have only about a few weeks/month to live, according to medical experts.
My late 2 colleagues who died last week in a bomb blast and I found a huge
sum of $25 Million USD in Baghdad neighbourhood
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm) that we have
successfully moved out of the country to Spain via a diplomatic courier
service. I am contacting you because i want you to help with claiming of
this merchandise and help me distribute them to charity organizations and
homeless people.


I feel distributing the funds would be a way to appease the LORD and also
want God to be merciful to me and my late friends and also accept our
souls ,because we have killed so many in the war, but we where only
serving our country. I have decided to give this sum 0f $25 Million USD to
charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I
do on earth.

I will want you to help me collect this consignment and dispatched it to
charity organizations like i have said earlier. I have set aside 30% for
you and your time. The most important thing is that can I TRUST you Once
the funds get to you?, and also would you distribute the rest 50% to
charity organizations?. Your own part of this deal is to contact the
DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICE on how the consignment can be released and
sent down to your home address and also find a safe place where the
funds can be kept. If you are interested I will furnish you with more
details.

But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all
times because if the authorities are aware of this funds, it would be
seized and used for purchasing ammunitions and irrelevant accessories,
whereby we have so many sick, homeless kids dying with hunger..

I am awaiting your urgent response on my private email address,
sgt_james_clayton07@yahoo.com

IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!


Regards.
