I just received two e-mails from "someone" saying she was Monica L. Brown. Knowing that scans are becoming more common, I played along. This was in reply to "her" just sending me a vague e-mail saying "I need to discuss ASAP with U"
1) Hi ,
Compliments and I hope you are doing great. I personally made a special research on Internet address book and I came across your information. I am presently writing this mail to you from U.S Military base Kabul Afghanistan hoping that you will assist me. There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect to this mail coupled with the fact that so many miscreants and mischief-makers who have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult
to believe that any quest for assistance through the Internet is real or genuine making it difficult for persons who need help to get attention, recognition and assistance. Please am sorry for disturbing you, but it will do you great, if you can just invest some little trust to what you are reading now. Because this will serve as a life changing to you, so jot down today's date somewhere, because today is a day you will live to remember for the rest of your life shalom.
My name is Sgt. Monica Lin Brown, originally from Lake Jackson Texas USA. I am 24yrs old, I presently work in Support Company of 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Corps Afghanistan. I and some other high ranking Officers made some deal on oil business over there in Iraq before my exit to Afghanistan. The deal worth $132 Million United States Dollars and after we have all share the money I later realize $10,500,000.00 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which is my personal share of the deal, due to
my status as a US Sergeant, I cannot be able to move this huge funds to my account in United States to avoid further interrogation or face any kind of probation by the U.S government and I packaged my own share in a briefcase and have sent it to the Red-Cross society, because there is no other way out to keep it with me here, so with the help of a German contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was
able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package, as I have deposited the consignment as a family treasure. Your acceptance to this would encourage me to send further information for us to proceed.
Furthermore, If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. I believe that such opportunities only come ones way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by. For once I find myself in total control of my destiny. This chance won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me
let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. If you give me positive signals, I will give you the relevant details and initiate this process towards a conclusion. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. Do not betray my confidence.
If you wish to proceed with this, please get back to me.
Regards,
Sgt. Monica Lin. Brown
So I just got another one after my response to the above e-mail in which I said "So you are American?"
