Subject: FROM EMMA SHAW
Dear Sir/Madam,
This proposal, which I trust you, will consider
profit-oriented believing that with trust and mutual
understanding we will achieve something.
I am Mr. Emmanuel Shaw, The Former Minister of Finance in
Liberia during the regime of president Samuel Dow. I am 58
years old. I have been indicted by the United Nations
Security Council concerning what they referred to as
"Conducts that tend to Fuel Conflict in the Sub Region" and
also "Allegations of Funding Rebellion in neighboring Sierra
Leone".
I am innocent of these charges. As a result of this the UN
Security Council have ordered the freezing of my accounts
and all my assets since October 2004 and also imposed all
sorts of Economic Sanctions on my business activities. I
have been banned from any form of business engagements till
further notice. All my businesses have been halted for
months now. I have started to feel the impact of these
sanctions.
Prior to these problems, I am a member of the board and
major shareholder in the mobile phone company, Lone Star
Communications. Even though all my shares in this company
have been frozen, I have stashed away some funds, which I
made from the company before the interruption of the UN. I
have this money stashed in a very good bank in Europe and it
is untraceable. The account is not on my name. But I have
total control.
I want you to help me get this money out and invest it for
me on a lucrative business in your country. Please I need
your assistance. My family has started feeling the heat.
This is a risky transaction but profit-oriented and I have
chosen to strike this deal with you if you will not mind.
Based on this your attention is highly needed to execute
this deal. I will offer you 20% of the funds and you can as
well go into JOINT VENTURE with a member of my Family.
Finally, I would like if you can send to me via email your
phone and fax contact details, postal address, direct
telephone numbers/mobile so as to reach you and discuss this
matter with you and upon the receipt of your positive
response, I will commence negotiation with Bank to have the
Funds released to my nominated proxy hence giving you the
status to be the sole beneficiary.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and it will be nice
to do business with you. I will call you on phone as soon as
I received your phone contact so that we can discuss on this
matter in detail.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards.
E. Shaw
