Thanks. It's nice to know that he loves you even though you only have one eye. :)
Usually they steal the romantic text from the Internet, but he seems to have written it himself.

We've been chatting since late May and I he random Skyped me. I have photos if someone can show me how to post them and I want them to come up in a google image search.

He's so inlove with me too and I'm his princess, his queen, the mother of his daughter, and lately has started calling me mommy (shudder).

His wife died in a car crash, which later turned into an air crash. He has a son which later became a daughter named Kelly, enrolled at the American School Lahore.

He is a Sgt Engineer and works on military vehicles including helicopters. Heroic feats include mercy killings of comrades, night patrol, duty and skirmishes with the Taliban. He survived the attack on the German compound (he was wrong) and just got out with his life. He is in the 2/27 Infantry stationed at Camp Phoenix, Kabul, packs an AK47 and works out constantly.

Here is an email he sent me. He has told me he is sending the money to me by diplomatic courier and he needs $1500USD from me to change the certificate of ownership into my name.

I have decided to play with him a bit and occupy his time. Oh and I have invented a disease that prevents me from earning an income so he's hanging in there waiting for me to go back to work. Loser.

Here is the email (I have also posted it on www.scamalert4u.com

Hi dear,

The money I want to send to you was the money I made while I was in Iraq, there was a man we met then on his way trying to escape out of the country with a huge amount of money about $2.2M US dollars, I, with four other soldiers during night patrol, when we caught him he was pleading for help that we should not implicate him cause if the Government gets to know about it, he will be charged for money laundry, which will lead him to jail.

Though our mission was not against the civilians but against the militants, Taliban, terrorists, suicide bombers Al-Qaeda etc. then he asked me to do him a favor as the leader, then I went into a deal with him to give us 50% of the money which is $1.1m USD and he agreed and asked me to give him some soldiers to accompany him across the border. Then we all agreed to keep the deal secret so that US and NATO authorities will not get to know about it, then I collected $250,000.00 and gave my colleagues the rest to share among themselves.

After that they send theirs to their various destinations through diplomatic process, while I kept mine there in Baghdad because I don't have anybody then to send it to and I don't want to send it to the man who is with my son, so that he will not harm my son and made away with the money cos it's a very huge amount.

Now I have found you, I decided to send it to you because of the degree of trust I have for you with hope you will not betray me at last. the place I kept it no one knows what is inside the case except me and you, even the person that is coming to deliver it to you doesn't know about the content cos I told him that it's my documents case and I lock it with secret code which I will release to you the moment the case gets to you.

Among the five of us, two people have died and two were among the troops that left Iraq ending of last year, so you don't have any problem. Please I need your nearest airport, your residential address and phone number for easy delivery to your door step ok.

Thanks.

Oh Natali, your emails are a copy and paste version of emails and messages sent to me. I have been frustrating him with stubborn behaviour and have walked out on him in mid chat just to make him work harder. He asked me for the money 2 months ago and I've been stalling him ever since. He's very patient and oh so in love that its become my nightly sport to give him a mood swing before I go to bed. I'm not very nice to him but he thinks I'm loaded

If you are leading the scammer on, I hope both of you are doing it safely. It is never a good idea to bait a scammer who has your real life information. Please check out the guidelines for safe baiting over at 419eater.com (and if you want to take it a step further, you can cause some serious grief with the tools there).

There is information for posting pictures in my signature here.

For anyone who doesn't already know:

"Diplomatic Couriers are required to safeguard and escort diplomatic pouches containing classified and sensitive material between US diplomatic missions and the Department of State. Diplomatic Couriers are entrusted with ensuring the inviolability of diplomatic pouches and their safe and secure delivery throughout the world."

So unless you are a diplomat, a Diplomatic Courier would not be delivering anything to "your doorstep"
under any circumstances.
