Dear Friend,

Good day and compliments, i know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise,I am Capt Prosper Lawrence, a US Marine, serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.

I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you. I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $10,570,000 (Ten million Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand USD) to the States or any safe country, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here.This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

Contact me via email: [capt.prosper@gmail.com] so that I can furnish you with more details.

Respectfully,
Capt Prosper Lawrence
United States Marine Corps. IRAQ

Been stringing this guy on for about a year; he is hooked up for delivery with Rosenblatt Associates who also should appear on the scam list in another field.

Have any of you noticed that when a fee is asked for and you say, "I don't have," they are more than willing to reduce that fee? To me, after several scams, it is a sure sign of one in progress.

Now, supposedly David is in DC with his uncle who is an UN secretary; may be true I do not know; Prosper is demanding money or he will turn me in....now is the time I report it to the FBI.

Don't worry about being turned in .. you did nothing wrong obviously! lol

It is a wonder that these people do this and expect us to think that they are really Americans with inproper dialog and spelling.

I had one tell me that he would kill himself and his blood would be on my head if I did not help him by sending money to his son in Accra Ghana in a middle school living with his Granny.

I told him that he can do that if he likes because a man like that is not a man and he is doing the USA a favor. lol

Of course the conversation then turned to begging. NOT!

I tracked the header of the email and found it was from Nigeria. Of course.
