This is so wrong!
Hello Buddy, I hope my email meets you well. My name is sgt James Clayton jr. I am in the Engineering military unit here in Baghdad in Iraq, with Esophageal cancer which has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few weeks/month to live, according to medical experts. My late 2 collegues who died last week in a bomb blast and I found a huge sum of $25 Million USD (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm) that we have sucessfully moved out of the country to spain via a diplomatic courier service. I am contacting you because i want you to help with claiming of this merchandise and help me distribute them to charity organizations and homeless people. I feel distributing the funds would be a way to appease the LORD and also want God to be merciful to me and my late friends and also accept our souls ,because we have killed so many in the war, but we where only serving our country. I have decided to give this sum 0f $25 Million USD to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. I will want you to help me collect this consignment and dispatched it to charity organizations like i have said earlier.I have set aside 30% for you and your time. The most important thing is that can I TRUST you Once the funds get to you?, and also would you distribute the rest 50% to charity organizations?. Your own part of this deal is to contact the DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICE on how the consignment can be released and sent down to your home addresse and also find a safe place where the funds can be kept. If you are interested I will furnish you with more details. But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times because if the authoritizes are aware of this funds,it would be seized and used for purchasing ammunations and irrelevant accessories,whereby we have so many sick,homeless kids dying with hunger.. I am awaiting your urgent response on my private email,sgtjamesclayton@hotmail.com,
IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!
Regards.
SGT .JAMES CLAYTON
This is the first time I've noticed this variant of the Advance fee fraud. This one is more insidious because it attempts to draw upon America's patriotism to trick them. I went ahead and reported it to the FTC and the Treasury Department. This kind of stuff makes me sick, it's hard to believe that Americans fall for this over and over again. You can't get something for nothing, the world just doesn't work that way.
Read more over at Wikipedia.

I just got back to work from my day off and had 3 of these letters in my spam section. It's kind of creepy. I agree with you, there should have been a big light bulb go off for the people who have fallen into this scam, you can't get something for nothing.
