Subject: United States Marine Corps. IRAQ 70
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:14:05 +0800

Good day My Friend ,
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 Sgt. Ryan Mayes, a US Marine Sgt. Serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment that 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 Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand US Dollars (2,900.000 USD) to the States or any safe country, 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’s old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us over the years, but now that and was kept in courier security vault for safe keeping.
Click Copy this link to get the full story: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/2988455.stm 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 in Iraq which you are fully aware. 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 British 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, who 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 survive 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.
Respectfully,
Sgt. Ryan Mayes:

I am currently stationed in Baghdad capital of Iraq and I am here to keep the peace by reason of any mishaps that happened here, for me, I am not here to fight I am here to maintain peace and not go to war .. So I think I am a bit sure lol … I let you know that I am on my second visit to Iraq and I have already spent 7 months here in Iraq. My first visit to Iraq 2004 My mission ended 2005 …I lost my beloved wife in 2006 after suffering from Cancer (R.I.P),we’ve been married for the past 16years ,lived happily till death took her away from me and our only daughter..
My daughter is now with my mum in Massachusetts simply because i had no one to care for her so i took though my mum is young and may not provide her with the love and things her mum has been doing for her before she left us . .I will be home in 2 months and i will also like to let you know that we not allowed to make calls outside the camp or use cam here due to security reasons but it gets to a time when we allowed to call our family and friends especially when we about to come home…

I guess i have said much about myself now…I hope you will take all what i said serious as i said ,am looking for my soul-mate and not here for head games or play with feelings..Hope to hear from you soon and kindly let me know if you would be available online so we chat since that’s more easier and faster way of communicating..Stay Blessed and Take care .

I am d/d free, respect all boundaries and limits. I am a professional Sgt. with the Army corp. i have a great career name for myself. I am secure with who I am and like when others know what they want and where they want to go. I like other out door activities such as gardening/farming, hiking and snowmobiling when am not in a war zone area….lol…

I have hiked some of the White Mountains and App trail. I like doing various things outside in nature as well as spending a night on the town or having dinner and catching a show also hunter the talibans. I love to travel and have been all over the world and the US thanks to the military. I am free most nights and also weekends. I like several indoor activities like cooking, reading, snuggling in front of the fire with a glass of wine on a snowy afternoon. I am more than willing to chat further on what you are looking for and what I am, I was born in texas My parents died when I was 15 and the following summer I moved to illinos to live with my Grandmom, and after some times she died While in high school I joined the Army . I was stationed in Afghanistan, which gave me the chance to see a lot in my life . I am looking to meet someone because; I am tired of living this way without know one or family. i want to get married and live the rest of my life with my love so i am looking for someone who will truly loves me and wants to be with me. Do you?A little about my personality and what I enjoy doing. I am a very calm person that likes to think things thru. I am not shy in the least bit and am not afraid of showing how I feel. I am not a very expressive person but I communicate how I feel about some one by touch more than by word, I hug my close friends when we met for example. I am currently teaching myself how to play the guitar,but i do play piano and it is kind of cute. I like all types of food and music and am very open to trying new things.I must say that I really like your pictures and think that you are an extremely beautiful, and sexy guy.
