All I need is your willingness, trust and commitment until I complete my service here in Iraq . Source of the money - You can go to this web link to read about the event that took place here in Iraq : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by SSgt Kenneth Buff and I, that some part of this money be shared among the two of us before informing anybody about it. 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 contact working here and because his office enjoys some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. Now, I have found a very much secured way of getting the package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up, and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me.
