OT/humor - Help steal some of Saddam's money!

[Randy Edwards]

   Today I found a bunch of these "401 scam" spam messages in my mailbox.  I 
thought the gimmick the sleazeball came up with to con people was pretty 
ingenious.  Obviously the scammer had watched the movie "Three Kings". :-)

Dear Sir

Good day to you
My name is Michael Doherty I am an American soldier, i am serving
in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, we have just
been posted to leave Iraq and go back to Germany. I am now in
Kuwait at the mean time, I and my superior moved funds belonging
to Saddam Hussein, the total is $25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five
million US dollars) this money is being kept safe in a security
company. Click on this link to read about even that took place here
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

Basically since we are working for the government we cannot keep
these funds, but we want to transfer and move the funds to you, so
that you can keep it for us in your safe account or an offshore account.

We will divide the total funds in three ways, since we are 3 that is
 involved. This means that you will take 30%, I will take 30%, and my
 superior will take 30%. 10% will be kept aside for  expenses. This business
 is confidential, and it should not be discussed with anyone.

There is no risk involved whatsoever. If you are interested i will send you
 the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and
 that will assist us. Can i trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly
 send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential
 telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details.
 This business is risk free.

Please reply me via this email: sgtmichaeldoherty at usthirdinfantrymail.com

Respectfully submitted

Sgt. Michael Doherty
