base in Kabul, Afghanistan, of the NATO Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace
Keeping mission in Afghanistan , On March 1, 2013 We were alerted on them
sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in Marzar Sharif . a suburb not too
far from Kabul here in Afghanistan .
After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists, (7)
injured. In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for Abu Baqir a
Taliban sub-commander and Al-Qaida group leader and they took us to a cave in
Marzar Sharif.
Which served as their camp? Here we recovered several guns and other
Ammunitions, including some boxes among which two contains nuclear weapons,
and the other contains some millions of US Dollars and I have in my possession

Afghanistan and I will soon come back and finish the deal and relocate my
family to your country. I assure and promise to give you 30% of this fund and
you keep 70%for me, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as
your percentage in this business. It is never a stolen! Money or illegal money
but because were on duty to bring! Peace in Afghanistan many soldiers lost
their life and no Amount of Compensation that may bring back the life of dead
soldier then consider how the family will feel, that is the reasons my unit
decided to share the Money among us but return all the guns and ammunition's
to our Camp, it is official and that's the reason I need your assistance to
ship the box to any save location of your choice. Please, I trust you to
maintain absolute secrecy and confidentiality to protect my job, myself and
the money. In less than 5 days the box should be in your possession and I will
