Subject: Please Help Me !!!
FROM:
MRS. SUZANA NUHAN VAYE.
Liberia.
ATTN: Sir/Madam,
Kindly accepts my apology for sending my mail to you. I am a true God
fearing person, and I want you to trust me and help me out in this my
condition. I believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the
fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on
your country in the Internet.
Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and
fragile political situation in Liberia but it has formed consistent
headlines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins.
My Name is MRS. SUZANA NUHAN VAYE from Liberia, a Country in West Africa. My
late Husband is Isaac Nuhan Vaye, Deputy Minister of Public Works in
Liberia. My Husband was falsely accused of plotting to remove the then
PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA CHARLES TAYLOR) from office. Without trial, Charles
Taylor killed him. You can verify this from some of the international
newspapers posted in the web sites below:
(I)http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm
(ii) http://www.unwire.org/UNWire/20030716/449_66 21.asp
Two days before the arrest and killing of my husband, he handed over to me
the documents of deposits he made in some countries. He deposited $10
Million USD with an International Financial Consultant Firm, registered in
London for investment purpose, and he also moved out secretly $10 Million
USD in cash in a trunk box to a security deposit firm in France. He told me
that the funds was transformed into un-exchangeable denomination (disguised
to look like Macro Film Plates) with the assistance of a chemist, which
makes it possible for the box to successfully pass through customs
inspection units without the customs and even the security carriage firm
knowing the items in the box to be identified as money. The box is already
in the vault of the security firm in Paris France awaiting claim, and if you
decide to help me, you must also know that the security company does not
know the contents of the consignment to be funds. It was declared to them to
be macro film plate (Photographic film materials in disguise) and you should
clear it as such.
Fortunately, I was made the beneficiary/next of kin to all these deposits in
the case of uncertainty, but it was so unfortunate that he was killed before
time. Now my family is being marginalized and brutally treated and was kept
in isolation of participant in any event in my country. The worse of it all
was that we have been restricted from traveling abroad and the government
seized all our traveling documents, and we’ve been placed under security
surveillance to monitor all our activities. I am completely devastated and
incapacitated to coordinates all these ventures, hence I am contacting you
for your solemnly assistance.
I have secretly without the knowing of anyone written to the Finance firm in
London and to the security deposit firm in Paris France about my intention
as the next of kin to transfer ownership of the funds and deliver the
deposited trunk box to my trusted representative since I am incapacitated to
continue running the affairs from where my husband stopped since I am not
permitted to travel out of my country. But most importantly, is to quicken
the process of this transfer of ownership of all these deposits to your
name, so as to prevent my government from detecting such deposits belonging
to my late husband, otherwise it would be confiscated and my future will be
finished. The companies are at standby waiting for my instructions and the
details of my appointed representative to enable them to execute the
transaction and relinquish all the properties to my chosen and trusted
representative. The easiest among all would be to help me travel to Paris
France to lay claim of the trunk box deposited with the security firm and
have the contents cleaned up in your private home or hotel room with the
assistance of a chemist before depositing them to your bank account. I
promised that all your traveling expenses would be repaid to you.
I am therefore soliciting for your loyalty, trustworthiness and cooperation
to help me to stand as my representative to receive these funds and the
trunk box on my behalf from the investment firm in London and the security
deposit company in Paris France pending when I would find a way to escape
from my country to be with you. I am granting you an open negotiation to
decide or say what I can offer you as reward for your assistance in this
regard. I want in your continual efforts, to hold the funds in your absolute
control and to re-invest the funds in any viable business that could
generate profits preferably into real estate pending my arrival to your
country. I would be glad to settle down in your country if you can help me
to arrange for immigrant visa.
If you are interested to help me, please respond swiftly via my telephone or
by return mail and furnish me with your detailed info so I would notify the
companies to process the change of beneficiary to your name and contact you
as well.
I will issue you my power of attorney in this regard with your detailed
information you would provide for me.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us.
Please your urgent response is needed.
Best Regards.
MRS.SUZANA NUHAN VAYE (WIDOW)
