_______________________________________________________

l am,Isnanto Parka an indonesian citizen,
attorney President Charles Taylor of Liberia on
international matters.The unfortunate incident that
brought about the hurried exit of my client,President
Charles Taylor, from power prompted him to act
quickly and decisively in securing one of the legacy
of the family.However, due to my intimacy with the
president, and the exile situatione acknowledged me of
the secrete location of funds at the tune of
$15,000,000 ( fifteen million united states dollars )
which was deposited in a security company in
Nigeria,where he is presently residing as a fugitive.

I contacted you because I am asked by my
client{Charles Taylor}to look for a
foreigner whom we will move this consignment under
his/her custody. He is serious of transferring this
consignment out of this country for offshore delivery
because of some facts and family problems that
presently exist.

These facts are:
1.His fears of limited rights as a fugitive in
Nigeria.
2.Lack of trust and insecurity of Nigerian banks and
security companies.
3.His future plans of relocation to Europe or America
.
4.Plans of international business involvement and
investment.

Every legal document the security company may request
from you before they could release this consignment
under your custody is presently with me. Be informed
that this transfer is 100% risk free.
I will appreciate to receive your quick reply towards
this letter (Offer) so that we shall proceed
immediately while you include your telephone number on
your letter to me.

kindly notify me through my e-mail address above so
that l can furnish you with more details. While I
await your urgent response, your confidentiality is
solicited to serve us better.
