2148. Corporal donald Payne

Subject: Please Help Me,I Was Only Serving My Country.

Hello,

I am writing this letter from a maximum Security detention facility here
in London. My Name is Corporal Donald Payne of the Queen's Lancashire
Regiment Posted to Baghdad, and I am currently serving 1 year jail term
having been sentenced on the 30th of April 2007  after a lengthy
court-martial ,I have been charged with crimes of torturing Iraqi
prisoners along with Two colleagues in my regiment .

 Because of the recent turn of events here in The penitentry I have
applied for, and secured a permit to work as a  cleaner in  the Prison
Library because it will keep me away from the general population of
inmates and such I will stay alive a bit  longer and most importantly
There I  have access to send at Least One email a day, and Such have
found it necessary to tell you about this because of the fact that the
Moslem community in prison here have passed a death sentence on me for
the crimes of torturing Iraqi Prisoners for which I was imprisoned and an
attempt has been already made on my life so now I am in a different
cellblock. but I know its just a matter of time before they get me, They
do not understand that I was just following orders, I have applied for a
transfer but they are taking too long to approve it  ,. That why I need
to open up to someone I can trust who can apply for My transfer and
strike a deal with The chief Warden here to hasten the transfer process
,A neutral person Like you That's why I have contacted you.

When we were posted to Iraq I was detailed to provide security escort for
The UN Nuclear waste and radioactive material disposal unit responsible
for carrying out such tasks as the disposal of dangerous nuclear materials
at specified radioactive waste disposal sites of such nature discovered in
Iraq by the American Inspectors. The Iraqi Army Marked These Metal Boxes
as dangerous radioactive and Nuclear waste Materials So when they were
discovered by the UN weapons Inspectors in an underground bunker the metal
boxes were treated as Level /A Radioactive Nuclear Contaminants  Thus
Documentation was processed for the contents to be detonated, destroyed
and disposed in one of the several  US nuclear disposal facilities around
Iraq , So they marked the Boxes for detonation, destruction and disposal,
having been believed to Contain Nuclear and radioactive materials for the
production of Biological weapons and weapons of mass destruction for The
Iraqi Army.

 But while we were subjecting these boxes to routing scanning for our
record purposes we discovered that the Two Metal boxes did not read as
containing radioactive nuclear materials on the scanner screen but rather
what appeared to be paper like materials in cellophane wrappings which
prompted us to open the security seals on the boxes only to discover That
The two boxes contained cash ,$12.9 million United States Dollars
Concealed By top Iraqi military officers and abandoned in the bunkers
during the Raids by Us marines who preceded the Weapons Inspection team.

When the boxes were found missing and Two officers in My regiment my self
inclusive were charged for torturing Iraqi prisoners, I was tried and
court-martialed, when I confessed to having sold the Nuclear materials to
An Iraqi Army General the military treated the matter as internal affairs
and I was sentenced in a military court and locked up in The British
Military detention Facility for 18 months for selling nuclear materials to
the Iraqi Army

Right now I need an honest and sincere but neutral person, a civilian
preferably to receive these funds from the diplomatic security deposit
company which is used mainly for the movement of sensitive and diplomatic
as well as classified shipments in and out of Iraq, where I managed to
lodge the Two boxes as containing photographic and x-ray film materials
and documentation from the United Nations Nuclear waste disposal facility
In Baghdad for shipment out of Iraq.

Please, Should you not be willing to work with me on this, kindly ignore
this letter so as not to implicate me because I have worked too hard to
keep this on the down low for this long I plan to have a better life on
the other side of these walls come April 2008 when I my sentence ends if
only I could just Stay Alive.

I anxiously await your response,

Yours Faithfully

Cpl Donald Payne
