A Message From Sergeant Goodluck Daniels

I’ve received many versions of this scam. This one stood out because the name was interesting. Sergeant Goodluck Daniels..It sounds like some character out of novel or movie.

The tales of Saddam’s gold and money are abundant and have been circulating in one form or another since the invasion of Kuwait. Sometimes it’s gold that was looted from Kuwait and sometimes it’s millions of dollars in US currency.

As usual, I wonder if anyone actually falls for these scams and then I think that SOMEBODY, somewhere must be. Why else would there be so many of these emails out there?

Please don’t fall for these scams. They are very obvious and anyone with a shred of common sense would not be taken by these low-end cons. If you really have a need to give away some of your money, Donate to Paralyzed Veterans of America and help PVA to provide Services, Support and Advocacy for America’s disabled veterans.

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Sgt Goodluck Daniels I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, Patrols Tal Afar, in Iraq. I apologized using this medium to reach you for a deal of this magnitude. We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein’s family. The total amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills.

We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$25 million, 60% for us and 10% will be kept aside for expenses and rest assure that this business is 100% safe on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.

Basically since we are working for the American Government, we cannot keep these funds, We plan on using diplomatic courier by shipping the money out to you by using diplomatic immunity. No strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, for Iraq is a war zone. You will only help the diplomat to get the yellow tag paper as soon as they arrive in your airport, they will have to call you to notify you that they have arrive for you to arrange with them on getting the tag so that the custom and immigration will not inspect the consignment. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter.

kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential
telephone/address for quick communication for the delivery. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this business is risk free. Respectfully submitted.

Sgt.Goodluck Daniels
