Dearest

I know that this mail may come to you as a surprise.,
I am a Sierra Leonean National and the wife of late Dr TAYLOR. Until his

death, my husband was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in Kanema

Sierra Leone. On April 6 2000 the military forces loyal to the Government
of
Ahmed TIJAN KABBAH invaded the diamond mine and assassinated my husband,

mistaking him for his brother WESSE TAYLOR who is the deputy to the leader

of the revolutionary United Front (RUF )FODAY SANKOH.When the news reached

me, I hurried gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for
my
dear life in the company of my only son VINCENT.

Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a deposit my
husband made in a security company in Abidjan Côte d'Ivoire. He deposited

12 million US dollars contained in 2 trunk boxes in the name of our son

ibrahim as containing family valuables money he made from the sale of Gold

and diamonds during his time as the General overseer.
Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the
transaction, we need your assistance to move this
funds out of Côte d'Ivoire for investment in your
country as we cannot invest here due to its nearness
to our country and the war still going on there. We
ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business,
so that we can invest wisely. We have it in mind to give your 10% of the

total sum (12 million US
Dollars), and 15% share in any investment we will
embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside
5% of the funds for ancillary expenses which you will
make in course of this transaction- fax messages,
phone calls, air tickets etc.
This fortune we have revealed to you should remain
confidential as it only you who we have told about
it.
The email address below have been acquierd for this
transaction, so that your messages will be
confidentially recieved. write me on this mail
address dorisjassmine@yahoo.com on receipt of this message for futher
directives. Note that this transaction is risk free.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU
Mrs Jasminn Taylor
