Hello,

My name is Sgt.George Morgan, an American soldier, I was serving in the military
of the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. I am in Europe at the moment, I and my
partner moved one of the boxes containing funds which we believe is belonging to
Saddam Hussein in March 2003, the total fund in this box is $18,600,000.00
(Eighteen million, Six Hundred Thousand US dollars), this fund had been moved
via a safe Courier Service to a secured security company, Click on this

Basically since we are working for the American government we cannot keep these
funds, since we are 2 that is involved, you will be the 3rd partner. This means
that you will take 30 percent, I will take 30 percent, and my partner will take
30 percent and 10 percent will be kept aside for any expenses.

This business is confidential, and we plead that it should not be discussed with
anyone. There is no risk whatsoever involved as we left this fund in the
Security company without declaring it's contents for this period of time to make
sure that the fund will be safe for transfer and investment. If you are
interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner
that we can trust and will assist us. kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
interest including your telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also
your contact details. I assure you that this transaction is risk free and its
success is 100% guaranteed,Please help us to help you.

Please get in touch with me immediately.

Yours-in-service,
Sgt.George Morgan.

Some of these phishing letters are pretty funny--I had one "from" Paypal that was chock full of spelling errors!
