I've sent you an E-mail.

Military scams have many variations. Anything from wanting to leave the military to go see the victim and need the victim's money to bribe their Superior officer, to sending their lover a package by Fake Courier, Diplomat, Lawyer Etc., To the large trunk box of money that they want the victim to take care of until they can leave the military and come get their share. The trunk box is also shipped by fake Courier, Diplomat, Lawyer, Etc.

ALL I WANT IS GREAT RELATIONSHIP AND PROMISES OF YOUR WORDS.

Hello dear ,
How is life today? I'm really getting tired of this job. Honestly, we are being attacked by insurgents, car bombs everywhere here. Please listen to what I want to tell you now, during one of our rescue missions we found a safe place box hat contains a huge amount of money belonging to the militant supporters of the government of Afghanistan , which I think was money used to buy weapons and ammunition for terrorist attacks. The amount of money in the safe is $ 19,200,000 dollars and the 6 Army officers present in the rescue mission agreed that the money will be shared between us and we did it. Of the total fund, my share was $ 3.2 million dollars (three million two hundred thousand dollars of the United States). I request your help to evacuate my share of this money out of this country ( AFGHANISTAN ) to your own country so that you keep it safe on my behalf until i arrive in your country.

So I want you to assure me that if you deliver this money in your country, it will be trustworthy to keep the money until I get to your country to meet you face to face to recover the money. you. It is clear to me that this proposal may scare you. But I want to let you know that I have made solid arrangements with a "JVK INTERNATIONAL MOVERS DELIVERY ENIVERY AND SECURITY SERVICE" and have promised to deliver the fund through a diplomatic method to any of the destinations you choose. This delivery will be handled legally by the "JVK INTERNATIONAL MOVERS DELIVERY OF THE COMPANY AND THE SECURITY SERVICE" and there will be no risk involved in the process and the money will be safely stored in a briefcase and the same case will be delivered in your country as a gift.

I decided to compensate you with 30% of the total money once the money is delivered, while the rest will be my investment capital in his country. A passionate call that I will make to you is that you do not discuss this matter with a third party. If you do not want to participate, delete this letter from your email box to avoid any leakage of this information and it will be dangerous for me. Based on my position here. I have chosen to contact me after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray or change my confidence or frustrate my dream. Although you wonder why I am revealing myself so soon without a formal presentation. Well, I will say that my mind convinced me that you are the real person who helps me receive and invest this fund.

Note; I do not know how long we will remain here and my destiny since I survived two bombings here, which led me to look for a reliable and trustworthy person to help me receive and invest the Fund, because I will go to your country of origin to invest and start a new life, not as a soldier anymore. I hope my explanation is very clear, but if you need more clarifications, let me know and I will explain more.

I want to let you know that here in the military zone we can not use mobile phones, we only use radio messages and email communications, so let us continue to communicate by email so far. In conclusion, I would like you to send me a response immediately regarding this proposal, your urgent response will be greatly appreciated. I hope to receive your acceptable response as soon as you read this letter.
The love of Carol.

KISSES?
