New theme on the same trap

I’ve receive heaps of Nigerian style ‘help us get this oil money out of the country’ spam but this was the first Iraq themed such spam:

Dear Sir,
My name is, Capt Ernest Taylor representing a faction of American soldiers, serving in the military of the 1st Armoured Division in Iraq, we came across your e-mail address(s) in the process of research and enquiry into an immense military global data base.
I believe you are familiar with the war situation in Iraq? Besides the killings, a lot of activities do occur; sales of antiques, discovery of stocked foreign cash and lots more. In April 2003, Staff Sergeant Kenneth Buff of the United States Army found US$160 million hidden by fleeing members of the Baath Party led by former dictator Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
Later, a search of the area revealed more hidden loot, total US$650 million. All of this was turned to the USA Administration in Iraq.
Recently, during a routine archaeological excavation of the area east of Tigris River, I and my three other colleagues discovered 1 box of the similar kind found by US Army! After careful examination we discovered that it is $100 US Dollars bills total USD 16Million which we concealed and packaged in one box hidden safely and later send to Europe by a special Courier Service.
We require a trustworthy, upright and business minded individual for opening account in Europe and to receive this money for save keeping. Details will be sent upon signal of interest. Our contact email : [removed]
Thanks for your co-operation
Signed,
Capt. E. Taylor

The email came through an old NZ ISP email address I still have forwarding to me.

Oh yeah on the trading side - Ouch! 3 trades stopped out for full R’s as the market reversed to the down side. I have one more position that’s holding up ok-ish. Will detail the trades later.
