Dear Friend, I am James Barry, an army contractor attached to the army force in Iraq. On the 27th day of June 2009, I and my men discovered a metal box containing US Dollars, which is a total figure mark $8.2 Million. We believe the box was owned and linked to late Saddam Hussein. We hid the box containing the money in untraceable location, and we are in desperate need of a reliable and trustworthy person whom will receive and secure the box containing the US Dollars. We can't afford to leave the box here in Iraq for any reason since Iraq is getting unsafe and dangerous every day. We have no idea what could happen next as everything remains inconclusive at this point. I am fully aware of what your thought would be, I will forward you my picture as well as my Identity, for you to know who you are dealing with. You will be compensated with 15% of this fund, please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret so that my job would not be jeopardized. Regards, James Barry
