    You would think that these people could find someone who knows how to write with American colloquialisms?

    Who actually says:
    " I am John England from the hospitality state (Mississippi)"

    But this one takes the cake:
    "The reason why I am explaining my findings to you is to seek for your assistance to enable you contribute immensely to the actualization of my dream."
    Mr. England, we just met, go easy on the theatrics.

    "Work has been risky no doubt and challenging as sometimes we are faced head on with armed insurgents where we lose some soldiers during confrontation."
    You're faced "HEAD ON with armed insurgents!!" Man, that sounds pretty bad?

    I guess the strategy here is to first, gain your trust, as no one from the "hospitality state" would ever rip you off. Next, gain your sympathy, since he "had his own share of losses as he lost a very good friend also an army contractor whom he had known for 12 years." After that, instill a sense of urgency, "since Iraq is getting unsafe and dangerous everyday." And last, show legitimacy, which is why he says he'll "intend to include his picture as well as his I.D.s for you to confirm the personality with whom you are dealing."
