I am sure This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but I do really need your attention with this urgent matter.<\/p>\n<p>I am Lance Corporal Alan Tyler, an american soldier, currently serving in the third infantry division in Iraq. The reason why I am contacting you via this media is because it is anonymous. I can&#8217;t contact my friends and family back home as they are listed as acquitances in my military file and to contact them may compromise the confidentiality of this transaction.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently in Kuwait on duty break. I and my partner, secretly moved some abandoned cash in a mansion belonging to the former president, Saddam Husein and the total cash is $25 Million USD.<\/p>\n<p>As I write this letter to you, this box is here with me in cash as I secretly moved it out of Iraq to Kuwait. You do not have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this and everything is safe.<\/p>\n<p>I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist us in receiving this box for us on your behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq to join my collegues. Of course, I will give you some money for your efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Moving the funds out of here is not going to be much of a problem as arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you is your trust and assurance that if the box gets to you, you can keep it in a safe place until our arrival. I have to stop here for now. We have limited time now, kindly get back to me immediately via email address (blahblahblah)<\/p>\n<p>In God we trust,<\/p>\n<p>Lance Corporal Alan Tyler<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, if we want to have a little useless super nerd fun with this, here&#8217;s the rub:<\/p>\n<p>According to the Treasury department, the approximate weight of a currency note, regardless of denomination is (1) one gram. There are 454 grams in one (1) U.S. pound, thus 454 bills in a pound.<\/p>\n<p>For $1 million dollars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In $1 dollar bills = 2,202.6 pounds (55,065 lbs for $25 million)\n<li>In  $20 dollar bills = 110 pounds (2,750 lbs for $25 million)\n<li>In $100 dollar bills = 22 pounds (550.65 lbs for $25 million)\n<\/ul>\n<p>$1 million dollars in $100 dollar bills, when stacked neatly, makes a block that&#8217;s little under a foot wide, just under half a foot long and a little over a foot high &#8212; basically about the size of a typical car battery for a 6-cylinder vehicle. For $25 million, picture a minimum of 25 car batteries. Imagine hauling that across the desert from Iraq to Kuwait&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friend, Good day to you.
