The attempts are funny and pitiful. The saddest part is that there are some people out on the net, that will respond to this email. I wish I could reach out and shake the idiots that fall for obvious and pathetic scams such as this one.

Hi Buddy,I know you will be surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to you before now.I am Tony, a master sgt. of The U.S. Army, deployed to Iraq in the beginning of the war in 2003.I want 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 ARMY which was at the fore-front of the war in Iraq.Though, I will like to hold back certain information for security reasons for now until you’ve time to visit the BBC website stated below to enable you’ve insight regarding what I intend to share with you, believing that it gonna be of your desired interest in one way or the other.Here is a BBC news listing that confirms what I share with you.

Also, could you get back to me having visited the above website to enable us discuss in a more vivid manner to the best of ur understanding. I must say that I’m very uncomfortable sending this message to you without knowing truly if you will misconstrue the importance and decide to go public.In this regards,I will not hold back to say that the essence of this letter is strictly for mutual benefit of you and I and nothing more.I will be more vivid and coherent in my next email in this regards. Best Regards.Sgt. Tony.
