Hello my friend, I am Capt.Ruddy Howard with the United Nations troop in Afghanistan, on war against terrorism.
Based on the United States legislative and executive decision that we must evacuate Iraq immediately for Afghanistan, Now we are in Afghanistan military base and I will be redeployed back to my country military base soonest, come next year 2010,
Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states, mostly the United States and the European Union on the war against terrorism.
On the other hand, I want to inform you that I have in my possession the sum of 10.2 million USD, which I got from crude oil deal here in Iraq. I deposited this money with a Red Cross Agent informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the money and it is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for the money.
I want to invest the money in a good business as soon as I am redeploy, anyway you will advice me on that since I am not a businessperson. I am an American and an intelligence officer for that so I have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money through diplomatic courier service .
I just need your acceptance and all is done. Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities that are secured so nobody can monitor our emails, then I can explain in details to you. I will only reach you through email, because our calls might be monitored, I just have to be sure whom I am dealing with.
If you are interested, please send me your personal mobile number so I can call you for further enquiries when I am out of our military network. I am writing from a fresh email account so if you are not interested do not reply to this email and please delete this message, if no response after 3days I will then search for someone else. I wait for your contact details so we can go into action.
In less than 5days, the money should have been in your position and I will come over for my money. I will give to you 30% of the sum and 70% is for me because I know that nothing goes for nothing I hope I am been fair to you.

Regards, Capt.Ruddy Howard
Now, as always I have no fear of publishing this clown's e-mail address. This is a very creative version of the latest Nigerian scam. However, check this out:
- An American military man stealing "10.2 million USD"? OK, first, he'd write it as 10.2 million. No need for USD.
- Next, he's going to contact me via military channels? Are you CRAZY?
- Note the usual assortment of bad grammar and punctuation.
- Why me?
Give him my personal cell phone number? What? THINK NOT!!
What a bunch of BULL DROPPINGS! This is just a despicable version, using the guise of a US military officer to try to scam you out of your hard earned money.
The scammers get more and more creative every day so just keep your eyes open, your mouth shut, and don't believe everything (anything) some stranger tells you. Even if you read it on the Internet.
Even if it was me.
