419 scam: "martins huk" <mhuk_70@msn.com> URGENT REPLY,

My Dear,

My name is Martins Huk a retired Colonel in the Liberian Army, a close aide and confidant of Mr. Charles

Taylor, the former Liberian president. During the civil war in Sierra Leone (a neighbouring African country) that

lasted several years, the rebel Revolutionary United Front (RUF), which fought against the legitimate Sierra Leone

government, was actively supported by former President Charles Taylor on account of his differences with the

Sierra Leone president. He provided training bases, military and political assistance for the rebels in exchange for

an unrestrained access to arguably, the second largest deposit of Diamond in the world –the mines were under the

control of the RUF.

I was the man the former president appointed in charge of all diamond transactions

between the Liberian leader and the RUF. During this period, Liberia became the conduit pipe through which all

mined diamonds from Sierra Leone were sold in the international market under my watchful eyes. This continued,

until the RUF was finally routed by a government backe international coalition led by the U.K., under the

auspices of the UN, two years ago.

In a sudden twist of fate, a coalition of an anti-Taylor movement in Liberia launched a guerrilla campaign in 2000,

to oust former President Taylor from power. However, following a large-scale humanitarian crises resulting from

the conflict, the international community led by the US, has put pressure on Mr. Taylor to resign/step aside, as

the panacea for ending the conflict, which he finally accepted and resigned

his presidency on August 11, 2003. The UN War Crimes Tribunal in Sierra Leone also indicted Taylor for war

crimes, over his role in the Sierra Leone Civil war. As a result of this development, the former president sent me

to London to solicit help on his behalf after which he adviised me to reside in London, and up to the present time

l am residing in London.Well,I have the sum of $50MUSD (Fifty million US dollars only), Being part of the

proceeds from the over 5 years diamond transaction that I supervised for the former president, and I need your

co-operation in moving these funds to a safety place overseas.

I have made a perfect arrangement to move these funds into your care within a few days

without risk at both ends, Please indicate your willingness to co-operate with me and provide me with your

contact details (your telephone and fax etc, for confidential communications) as time is of essence.I have been

reliably informed that some people send fraudulent letters to unsuspecting individuals overseas making bogus

claims. Please be informed that this is not such letters as my claims are true, authentic and verifiable. Should you

have any question, feel free to contact me, but treat this transaction with absolute confidentiality.

Awaiting your prompt response,
