Braswell worked For the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, before his death We secretly moved some abandoned cash in a mansion belonging to the former president, Saddam Hussein and the total cash is US$80,000,000.00 Eighty Million Dollars.

As I write this letter to you, these boxes are in Security Company as I secretly moved it out of Baghdad to safe place nd since then has been laying low while on AWOL.

I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist me and my late partner Darren D. Braswel in receiving this boxes for us on your behalf as I will making plans to fly out as soon as the money is safely out of Iraq. Of course, I shall compensate you with an attractive percent of the total funds for your role/efforts.

Moving the funds out of the security company is not going to be much of a problem as arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust,

I once had a mail from Saif Gaddafi, telling me that although he was in exile from Libya since his father's death, he had access to the families vast fortune. All I needed to do was open a bank account with $1000 in it, give him the details and then he would transfer in millions. Seemed like a fair deal to me...
