Don’t tell anybody…..

February 22, 2017 by Pops 27 Comments

This email just popped up in the inbox this morning. It’s a secret, apparently.

“My Dear Friend,

My name is SGT Raymond Wilton. I am a war veteran with the United Nations troop in Afghanistan on war against terrorism. I served in the 1st Armored Division in Kabul. Based on the United States legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from Iraq, I have been redeployed to come and work in Kabul on the platform of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states, mostly the United States and the European Union on the war against terrorism.

On the other hand, I want to inform you that I and my partner (Trooper James Anthony Leverett) have the sum of 43Million USD, which we got from a crude oil deal in Iraq before he was killed by an explosion while on a vehicle patrol. Due to this incident, I want you to receive these funds on my behalf as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here (in Afghanistan) and come over to meet with you. Since we are working here on Official capacity, I cannot keep these funds hence my contacting you.

I guarantee and ensure you that this is a risk free deal. I want you to know that we have successfully moved these funds out with the help of a Red Cross agent; I will inform you where the fund is as I hear back from you. All i want is your acceptance to receive these funds on my behalf, Since the death of my partner, my life is not guaranteed here anymore, so I have decided to share these funds with you, than the funds being dumped at a great risk.

I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us as soldiers here in Afghanistan. I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived so many suicide bomb attacks, this and other reasons I will mention later to you. I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible on my e-mail msg.raywilton@gmail.com which is my only way of communication for now.

Regards,
M/SGT Raymond Wilton.”


Unfortunately, I don’t have any place to safely keep $43,000,000.00, so it seemed only fair to share this opportunity. (BTW – anybody who considers responding to his email must register immediately as a certified moron.)

General Misappropriation

February 16, 2017 by Pops 28 Comments

The U.S. Army says Former Maj. General Ronald Lewis will be demoted and retire as a brigadier general after he used a government credit card to pay for bills at strip clubs in Rome and South Korea.
Lewis had previously reached the three-star rank of lieutenant general, but he was demoted to major general (two stars) more than a year ago after an investigation uncovered that Lewis had misused a government credit card and had become involved in an extramarital relationship.
Now Lewis will be further bumped down to brigadier general (one star) because he charged the government for his visits to the strip clubs, made false statements and “engaged in conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman on multiple occasions.” Your tax dollars at work, eh?
