Greetings,

My name is Major James Modlin. I am an American soldier,
presently in Iraq for the protection of the US embassy and advise
the Iraqi army in relation to the advance of ISIS. With a very
desperate need for assistance, I have decided to contact you for
your kind assistance to move the sum of (US$38,000,000.00) Thirty
eight Million United States Dollars to you if I can be assured
that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my
service.

Some money in various currencies was discovered in boxes at a
farmhouse during a rescue operation we conducted in one of the
attacks by ISIS, and it was agreed by my colleagues and I that
some part of this money be shared among us before informing
anybody about it. The above figure was given to me as my share,
and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so
with the help of a British doctor working with Red Cross, I was
able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of
trouble spot. he does not know the real content of the package,
and believes that it belongs to a British /American medical
doctor who died in a raid here in Iraq, and before giving up,
trusted me to hand over the package to his Family.

I have now found a much secured way of getting the package out of
Iraq to you for pick up, and I will discuss this with you when I
am sure that you are willing to assist me. I am ready to
compensate you with 30% of the $38 million USD for your
assistance.

I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot,
wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special
grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has
prompted me to reach out for help.

Please contact me as soon as possible with the following details:

God Bless you as I look forward to your positive response.

Truly yours,

Major James Modlin
