Do I look like a mug? (Don't answer that)

[Lensman]

Greetings,

I know you would be surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to you before. My name is SGT. Peter Lundgren, a member of the U.S. ARMY USARPAC Medical Team, which was deployed to Iraq in the beginning of the war in Iraq.

I would like to share some highly personal classified information about my personal experience and role which I played in the pursuit of my career
serving under the U.S 1st Armored which was at the fore-front of the war in Iraq.

Though, I would like to hold back certain information for security reasons for now until you have find the time to visit the BBC website stated below to enable you have insight as to what I'm intending to share with you, believing that it would be of your desired interest one-way or the other.

Also, could you get back to me having visiting the above website to enable us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your understanding. I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to you without knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decides to go public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence of this message is strictly for mutual benefit of you and I and nothing more.

I will be vivid and coherent in my next message in this regards, meanwhile, could you send me a mail confirming you have visited the site and that you have understood my intentions? I will await your thoughts. as i look forward to your reply.


Thanks,
Best Regards
SGT. Peter Lundgren.

Vivid and coherent?

Is this a new version of the Nigerian prince scam?

Vivid and coherent?

My thought exactly.

Is this a new version of the Nigerian prince scam?

More than likely.

Man, I knew it before I even clicked on the link.

Yeah and you scooped up a million dollars and put it in your pockets.

You might not look like a mug. But, at least you have a good handle on this.

Some of the stories on this site are good although the site is not laid out the best. The guy strings them along nicely and gets them on camera as well.

Dearly Beloved,
My name is Mrs.Mary Nkama. I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what
I have to charity through you. You may be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to be chosen.
I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my
husband who had left me everything he worked for.
I have been touched by the lord to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to charity
through you for the good work of humanity,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's
hard earned funds inappropriately. I have asked the lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has,
because He is merciful.
I will be going in for an operation,and I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to WILL/Donate
the sum of GBP5.2 Million (five million two hundred thousand pounds) to charity through you for the good work of the lord,
and to help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows.
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are
around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because
I deserve all the rest I can get.
Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to charity through you.
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well
and always extend the good work to others. If you are interested in carrying out this task,i will inform
my Family Lawyer so that he can arrange the release of the funds to you.
I know i have never met you but my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely.
I will pay you 30% of this money if you will assist me because I am now too weak and fragile
to do things myself because of my cancer.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished,as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish,
due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members
standing in the way of my last wish.

Love,
Mrs.Mary Nkama
