I am now receiving "Nigeria-letters" from US troops in Iraq - or so it would seem:

of course it isn't - this is a sacrilege:
"Dear friend,
I am sorry for the approach, i got your email from online web directory and
decided to contact you personally for my findings beleiving that we can build
trust for ourselves.
As you very well know, Iraq is gradually undergoing a rebuilding process in some
parts and there is much need for reconstruction. I am Elizabeth Ruekberg from
the 782nd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne
Division, I am from the hospitality state of Mississippi. I evaluate the level
of destruction and offer professional advice inline with the way they intend
rebuilding. With no doubt, work has been risky and challenging as we sometimes
collide head on with armed insurgents and loose some soldiers during
confrontation.
On the early hours of 4th September 2008 I lost a friend Cpl. Jessica A. Ellis,
24, of Bend, Ore., died 11 May 2008 in Baghdad, Iraq, of wounds suffered when
her vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device.She was assigned to the
2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne
Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky. . It was a very sad day but at about
1100hrs during a normal inspection routine along Haifa Street, built and
occupied by the late Saddam Hussein while he was still alive and one of the hide
outs of the Al Qaeda and Ayman al-Zawahiri forces. I, along side with 3 soldiers
proceeded to a marked site and as I commenced evaluation under close guard by
the 3 soldiers, I discovered an unusual bulge in a cellar, which I presumed to
be storage room and as I proceeded to have a closer look at it, I kicked a metal
covering and found several metal boxes (6 in number) Piled on top each other and
locked with a padlock. On forcing the box
es open, we discovered several ar
Why I am explaining all our findings to you is to seek for your assistance and
immense contribution to the actualization of our dream of getting these funds
out from here. We are in desperate need of a reliable and trustworthy person who
will receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the money for us until
our assignment ends here. Since Iraq is getting unsafe and more dangerous
everyday, we cannot afford to leave these boxes here in Iraq for any reason and
knowing fully well that these were funds used in sponsoring terrorist attacks on
our innocent humans. We have no idea what could happen next. This is a true
story of what we came across here in Iraq. I intend to include some pictures I
took here and my ID's issued by the US army and government for you to know
better whom you are dealing with but I will include that in my next email to
you. I assure and promise to give you 30% of this fund before sharing with the
other 3 soldiers when we leave this place. Please as
sure me of your keeping this top
My Sincere Regards,
Elizabeth Ruekberg
