Received the following email today. Yes, of course it's a spin on the old 419 scam (the article refers to a stash of money found in Iraq back in 2003), but I feel somewhat riled that this is being circulated under guise of a US soldier, so if anyone feels like dicking around with these two email addresses I think it's fair game.

Greetings,
I know you would be surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to you before. My name is SGT. Williams Curtis, a member of the U.S. ARMY USARPAC Medical Team, which was deployed to Iraq in the beginning of the war in Iraq.
I would like to share some highly personal classified information about my personal experience and role which I played in the pursuit of my career serving under the U.S 1st Armored which was at the fore-front of the war in Iraq.
Though, I would like to hold back certain information for security reasons for now until you have find the time to visit the BBC website stated below to enable you have insight as to what I'm intending to share with you, believing that it would be of your desired interest one-way or the other.

Also, could you get back to me having visiting the above website to enable us discuss in a more clarifying manner to the best of your understanding. I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to you without knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decides to go public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence of this message is strictly for mutual benefit of you and I and nothing more.
I will be vivid and coherent in my next message in this regards, meanwhile, could you send me a mail confirming you have visited the site and that you have understood my intentions? I will await your thoughts via my personal email: sgt.willcurtis01@gmail.com
Thanks,
Best Regards
SGT. Williams Curtis
