This is the first time I’ve seen a Nigerian 419 mail from someone masquerading as a UN army officer. It has all the classic signs of a 419 mail, with the large hidden funds in need of an outsider acting as a go-between, promises of a 100% risk-free business, the phony details (two large metallic boxes), and the need for confidentiallity.
In my heart, I hope that nobody falls for this mail. But then again, I now that somewhere out there, somebody will find it difficult not to try to get their hands on 40% of 9.5 million US$ in cash…

help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a war zone.We plan on using Diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in two large

If you got one of these, just delete it, and forget about it. There isn’t any funds, and you can be really sure that it wasn’t sent by Major Paul Bruces or Lt. Col. Ralph Harland.
