1st Armored Division Iraq

Good day,

We are American soldiers fighting in Iraq serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division. The saga of rise in death tolls should not be news to you and i am sure you will not find this mail worrisome. We have seen so much in our days of stay here and no matter how much we paint the picture, you will never understand.

During our invasion of Saddam Hussien's family house, we recovered over 30 million United States dollars in cash and mostly in 100 dollar bills. This discovery was not made public neither was it made in one search. Most of the funds were taken by our superiors and we can not authoritatively or emphatically make over statements concerning the money.

But it will interest you to know that we have US$6.5 million dollars which we have safely secured. Now every month we have supplies of food, drinks, blankets etc from aids in Europe,the US and other allegiant countries. These deliveries are made by high commissioners and diplomats. After they have made the delivery to us they naturally depart. Now we have been able to make acquintance with two of the diplomats. These diplomats arrived from USA with supplies to us and are due for departure.

We have safely secured the sum of US$6.5 million dollars in 100 dollar bills in boxes and we will be handing over the money to the diplomats to deliver in USA. Note: the diplomats are not aware of the contents of the boxes and we have informed them that our associate will be picking up the boxes for us in USA. Once you are capable of receiving this, you will have to give us your full names, your phone number and your full contact address as we will pass them on to the Diplomats.

Note also that these diplomats are not American citizens and they will have to call you for the delivering of the fund as soon as they arrive at the Airport as they will only be transiting in USA So once you have gone through this mail. Mail us immediately through this my private email johnhun@o2.pl and we will work our modalities.

Thank you.
Respectfully,
Sgt.John Hunter

My Sense of Humor

That'd be "humour" for my non-American readers.

Either way you spell it, it's abstruse.

Comin' to see Uncle Mike

This was the summer of '76, I am fairly sure. I had just bought some sort of Instamatic, guess it would've been a Polaroid. The film was horribly expensive and each photo cost nearly a dollar.

These have always been two of my favorite photos, not just because I love my nephews, but they made me think I "might" have an eye for taking a decent photo.

I was deluding myself, but I'll blame that on being young.

Been there

Heavy eyelids, slack jaw, a bit of drool and the expression of a blithering idiot.

This could describe a lot of folks after a Thanksgiving meal or a night of excessive drinking, but it describes ME for most of my life.
