Subject: Late Mr. Isaac Nuhan Vaye (killed By Charles Taylor)
Dear Sir / Madam,
Accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. Although we never met before, I have every reason to believe that you are a highly respected personality. I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and political situation in Liberia but it has formed consistent Headline in the CNN, BBC news bulletins.
My name is Mrs. Suzan Vaye wife of Late Mr. Isaac Nuhan Vaye deputy minister of public works who was killed By Charles Taylor former president of Liberia. I hail from Monrovia in Liberia, currently; I am staying in Ghana with my son, due to the recent war in my country while making conceited efforts to travel out of Ghana as soon as possible.
My husband left some funds in a bank, (name withheld for security reasons) before he died. Prior to his death in the hands of rebels, he handed me over a certificate meant for a secret Deposit, which he made in a bank; I have to contact you due to my present social status and total ignorance of the business world. I believe you will appreciate the enormity of trust I repose on you by placing the fortunes of the family in your care, I request that you would not let me down in any way. On my part, this is my assurance and guarantee to you in as much as you follow my instructions carefully; my guarantee of a hitch-free success is a must.
I have contacted the bank to confirm the deposit, which is worth Fifteen Million United States dollars which my husband made from the purchase of ammunitions for the Liberian Army. You will be given a negotiable percentage of the funds at the end of the transaction.
If you will be willing to assist me transfer and invest the Funds wisely, kindly confirm in your reply if you can come over to enable us discuss this transaction.
My proposal is confidential and should be handled strictly.
Thank you and GOD bless.
Mrs. Suzan Vaye.
