I'm a veteran, It's Memorial day: Say No More->


Dear Friend,

Good day and compliments, i know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence.Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Capt. Marc L. McVicker, a US Marine Capt. serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.

I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you. I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $12,570,000 (Twelve million Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand US dollars) to the States or any safe country of your choice, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam Hussein'sold Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us. This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. 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 German contact working with the UN here(his office enjoys some immunity)I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid,and before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.

I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been lucky to have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavour to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but i pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.

Contact me via my private box: marcl.mcvicker12@hotmail.com so that I can furnish you with more details.

Respectfully,
Capt. Marc L. McVicker,
United States Marine Corps. IRAQ.

Sad but inevitable, really I'm surprised it took so long for someone to try this angle.

I've seen variations on this one floating around for a bit now.

Not only does the low life scum sucking failed clone of a lobotomized paramecium slander Memorial Day and all those we honor…

He's impugning the honor of the MARINE CORPS itself!!! ><

May they catch him and put him on body collection and/or burial detail in the combat zone! (only cause shooting the sorry vermin would be too much a waste of ammo!)

Seems his name has been getting around: link

"He's impugning the honor of the MARINE CORPS itself!!! ><"

You'll have to let me know in what bar/tavern/dump/dive frequented by US Military personnel it hasn't been impugned for the last 232 years… ; ) !

The writing style of all of these seem so similar. It's either a language thing (whatever the native tongue of Nigeria is) or the same twit is writing them. Probably the author of how to get rich in 4 minutes or whatever book it was parodied in the US Tonight Show last week….

Shameful to say the least.

The official language of Nigeria is English.
I'll admit that in any of the old colonies we imposed English on (India, the US, Zimbabwe etc ) we did an imperfect job of teaching the locals.
