The "United States Sergeant Diamond Deal" Scam
Hello Dear Friend,
Compliment of the day, how are you doing?
I apologize to encroach your privacy, i got your contact from a directory. I know you don't know me but i mean no harm, i don't have anyone to talk with. I lost my parents in a car accident when i was young, at about 7 years old, i was raised up by my adopted parents, but they passed away some years ago, relative of my adopted parents threw me out of the house. I once lived in Lake Jackson, Texas before joining the Force.
Let me introduce myself to you, my names are Sgt Monica Brown, i am assigned to 782nd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, and 82nd Airborne Division [3]. Myself and four(4) other colleagues of mine made partnership on some diamond deal over here in Afghanistan, and the deal worth $25 Million United States Dollars and after sharing the money among ourselves i realized $5.9 million United States Dollars was my share of the deal, due to my status as a United States Sergeant, i can’t be able to move this huge funds to my account in United States, but with the help of an Indian contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) i was able to get the package out to a safe location from trouble spot.
He does not know the content of the package, as i have deposited the consignment as a family treasure. I am seeking your kind assistance and cooperation to evacuate the sum of $5,900,000.00 USD (Five Million, Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) if this is possible, I need your assurance that it will be safe in your care until i complete my service here in Afghanistan, then i will come to meet you soon as possible. You may be wondering why i decided to communicate with you on a delicate matter like this, but this is the best way i could at this present situation. Meanwhile, i would have trusted this deal in the possession of my husband who was my closest confidant, but i lost him to cancer on 13th August, 2009.
This incident occurred exactly 4 months after we got married, also my only brother ruined his life with hard drugs. Now I am left out with no family member. Oh my God, so painful i am all alone in this wicked world. A decision to talk with you came through my mind that was why i decided to send you this email. Your acceptance to this would really help and encourage me more to send you further information for us to proceed on this deal.
Please Note: I am willing to offer you 50% of the total sum which is to be evacuated for your assistance. Do not betray my trust and confidence in you. If you wish to proceed with me on this issue, please write back to me with a positive response via my private email: (sgtbmonica5@gmail.com)
Best Regards,
Sgt Monica
