Subject: Madam Beverly Murray.
My Dear,
You may be surprise,but it was out of my desire to share this mutual proposal with you,i got your name and address during my internet
random search in chambers of commerce of foreign affair department.I apologize if this mail message does not suit your personal
or business ethic.
My name is Madam Beverly Murray. A citizen of the United States of america,i am married with Mr. Sherif Lawal Murray who
worked with former President of Liberia Mr. Charles Taylor, he was one of the special advisers of president Charles Taylor,
my husband was assassinated on the 10/08/2003 during the civil war. We were married for eleven years with only one child.I inherited
a total sum of 16 million dollars from my late husband, this money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a security
and finance company here in United States of america.
Due to the instruction I laid down before I deposited the box,that I needed maximum security/safety of my consignment and
no body can trace the where about of the box until I am ready and prepare to claim it. for this reason the security company used
their diplomatic means to send the box out of United States to Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire where they have their underground secrete
vault. This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure. This means that the security company does not
know the content of this trunk box that was sent from the United States to Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire under a diplomatic coverage
for safe keeping.My main purpose of sending you this mail is because ofthe political crisis that is about to go on in Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire
which i am very afraid that anything might happen in that country and that is way I need a trustworthy person to give this priority
of shipping the box of money to any address that you think is very secure and save in your country for onward investment of the
fund since my present situation is very bad for me to handle this transaction all alone due to my hart sickness,which i am even hospitalize
while writing this mail to you.
And also your percentage of which weshall chat on soon.There is need for urgent action because I'm paying $50 dollars per day as
a demurrage to the security company for safe keeping this consignment. I will send you the Authorization Certificate to call them in my
next mail which is the Certificate of deposit that they gave me on the very day when the box of money was deposited under their company.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as Ilook forward to hear from you soon.You can get back to me through this my yahoo id for
some security reason beverly_m02@yahoo.co.uk
All the best,
Madam Beverly Murray.
