Hello,

This is Harry Barnes of the US marine platoon, but redeployed to Iraq,I am seeking your assistance to evacuate $12.7m to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care.

I totally, totally believe this. I mean, I’ve heard of *the* US marine platoon, so it’s well documented. I also like the “but” in “but deployed to Iraq”. And what red-blooded US soldier wouldn’t write a complete stranger and ask him to keep $12.7 million safe? I will be replying to this guy stat! It’s my patriotic duty!
