This email has much more credibility than anything Obama says.

[Larry Lucido]

You can’t fool an honest man.

I found your contact particulars in an address journal.

I wondered where I left my contact particulars!

Greetings,

My name is Mark Walker. I work with one of the Oil companies here in China. I have partners all around the World. I recently lost my license to operate in North America due to tax issues. However, I have some partners ready to make payment for products I already supplied them.

This amount runs into hundreds of millions. Can I trust you to receive this fund on my behalf? I am willing to give you 20% of any amount received on my behalf.

Kindly forward your full details so I can arrange for payment to reach you as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Mark.

I am an American soldier with Swiss background,

She brought the Alps with her?

[HenpeckedCon]

From a former soldier. If you see the words “corporal”
and “soldier” together that’s a red flag. There are very few corporals in the army. 99% are what we used to call, “private eagle class” or spec 4. Corporal is a Marine Corps rank.
