Dear Friend,
I hope my e-mail meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My name
is Col. Thomas Kurlick of the Engineering Unit of US Military here in
Baghdad in Iraq; we have about $30 Million US dollars that we want to move
out of the country in three digital boxes. My partners and I need a good
partner out there, someone we can trust to receive the funds on our
behalf, It is oil money and legal.
We have made arrangements with a Diplomatic Courier Service that will move
the funds out of Iraq as a Family Treasures.
Trust you once the funds get to you simply take out 30% as your share and
keep the remaining 70% for us. Your own part of this deal is to find a
safe place
Where the funds can be sent to, ours is sending it to you safely.

If you are interested I will furnish you with more Details upon receipt of
your response and contact details. But I can assure you the whole process
is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times.
I look forward to your reply and co-operation.
Regards,
Col. Thomas Kurlick
