Greetings Beloved Friend,

Please take a moment to read my Massage as it is immediate and helpful.

I saw your email from Search Engine and i decided to contact you urgently for this great opportunity between me and you, permit me to introduce myself to you, My name is Major Garry Williams. I am an American soldier, presently in Syria for training, working with allies and also helping in stabilising the country against security challenges. With a very desperate need for assistance, I have decided to contact you for your kind assistance to move the sum of (US$48,000,000.00) Forty Eight Million United States Dollars to you if I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service. Some money in various currencies was discovered in boxes at a farmhouse during a rescue operation we conducted in one of the attacks by the terrorists and it was agreed by my colleagues and I that some part of this money be shared among us.

The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British doctor working with Red Cross, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. he does not know the real content of the package, and believes that it belongs to a American medical doctor who died in a raid here in Syria, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his Family.

I have now found a much secure way of getting the package out of Syria to you for pick up and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me. I am ready to compensate you with 35% of the $48 million USD for your assistance.

I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help.

Please contact me as soon as possible with the following details:

Full Name:
Full Address:
Tel/cell numbers:
Occupation:

God Bless you as I look forward to your positive response.

That's called money laundering and no major would ever contact a stranger to launder money.

I honestly don’t think I had an email at my old job 23 years ago…lol. I’m not even sure how the scammer reached out to my old coworker, he was the very techy type of guy. He probably had one.

The 35% seems a little lean. I’d ask for 40% and see if he takes it.

I have been getting these kind of emails for years. If you just started to get them you are lucky. The sad part there are gullible people that fall for it. Personally, I would like to shoot these scammers especially using our soldiers as part of the scam.

That seems fair to me.


It's been months since I bought the book, "How To Scam People On Line". It still hasn't arrived yet.

If you buy the premise; you buy the bit.

I know that this crap has been going on for years and years.I have heard about and maybe even seen this type of email before.The reason I posted this is because maybe there is one person that might fall for it on TMan and if I can save that one person from being scammed so be it.

you can call me Jesus if you wish grin
