What do you think about this:

Good day to you,

I will require your assistance to take care of some financial matters for me and you will be adequately compensated for rendering your assistance.

Here is an idea on what I am trying to say:

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 hellhole.

You will have to give me some assurances that you will keep my identity and other information's regarding this project to yourself, and will also try to adhere to the terms we will agree on, especially the safety of the part of resources that I will call my share, after you have taken the figures we will agree on as your share, and how to preserve that belonging to me until I complete my service here.

If you should have any reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any leakage will be too bad for us. If this proposal is acceptable by you, I await your urgent e-mail so we can discuss more.

Semper Fi.

Your first assumption was right - 'Nigerian Letter'! - Scam, scam, scam

I get on the average of 7 of these Scam letters a week from Nigeria etc. I have turned them all over to the FBI. Hopefully they will go after these sick puppies in time.
Thanks for the post.

This "letter" sure seems familiar to me for some reason. This one may have been circulated over a year ago maybe? Bottom line- say it is totally true: the problem would be that the barrels of dinar would be the old Sadam notes and therefore would be worth next to nothing, imho.
Blessings On YOU! AL
