Subject: SOLICITING FOR A BUSINESS VENTURE AND PARTNERSHIP
Dear Friend,
First and foremost, I apologize for using this medium to communicate a business
proposal of this magnitude , this is solely because of the confidentiality
nature repose on the net; before I go on further, I must be grateful to
introduce myself. My name is Mr. Johnson Alala a Liberian. I was formerly
the chief campaign manager to Mr. Charles Taylor the president of Liberia
and I was also a personal aid to the Minister of trade in the depose administration
of Mr. Charles Taylor.Due to my position and closeness with the President,
I absconded with Thirty.Five Million United States Dollars (US$30.5M) which
was part of the money that was initially meant for campaigning for President
Charles Taylor re-election into office before the recent crisis that led
to his depose from office. Presently I have been able to move the funds
diplomatically to a reputable Finance Company in the Netherlands where I
now reside as refugee; and I do not have the intention of returning home
for fear of being assassinated by members of the opposition party to Mr.
Charles Taylor under whose administration I served.MY REQUEST As a result
of my present situation as a refugee who cannot have access to own an account
or accounts, I am therefore faced with the dilemma of seeking for a trustworthy
individual/firm that can advice me in making the rightful investment as
well as to provide account(s) where the funds will be lodge into. More also,
we are at the interim interested in buying properties for residence as my
family and I will be residing there in the near future. Please be aware
that my family are also in a safe location and I am in contact with them.
COMMISSION/REMUNERATION As regards your commission/remuneration, I and
my immediate family have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum and also
set aside 5% for all your expenses (i.e telephone bills, traveling expenses,
hotel bills and other miscellaneous expenses). NOTE: I shall commit half
of my own share of the total sum into a joint venture project preferably
in the purchase of Real Estate or other profitable business venture within
your knowledge existing in your area. Be assured that you stand no risk
of any kind as the funds in question belong to me alone. As soon as I get
your consent, I will furnish you with the details and contact of the Security
Company and after a few more details have being communicated, we shall then
proceed to arrange for a face to face meeting in order to know each other
better and also discuss the terms and conditions of the partnership extensively.I
strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business
ventures will derive a huge success hereafter and it will be a long lasting
business association. If you have any question, do not fail to contact me
with my e-mail address (johnsonalala@netscape.net) I await your anticipated
co-operation.
Yours truly,
Mr. Johnson Alala.
