FROM MR STEVE
I personally decided to put in writing as below, the full details of this
business proposal that I have been trying to explain to you. I have a
re-profiling amount in an excess of US$500M, which I seek your partnership
in accommodating in this transaction. I am willing to give out 25% of this
total sum to you for your quick assistance and partnership, 70% for me and
while 5% should be set side for reimbursement of any unforeseen expenses
we both might incure in the cause of this transaction. However, I
sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction, which I am proposing
to you.
My name is Steven, I am the personal assistance to the former President of
Republic of Liberia (President Charles Taylor). President Charles Taylor
decided on the 11th of August 2003 to go into exile in a neighboring
country Nigeria to seek asylum. Based on these developments, his various
foreign bank accounts have been frozen and some are still under serious
investigation. But in the light of all these happenings, President Charles
Taylor was able, through the help of some loyalist succeeded to secretly
move the sum of US$500M, on my name as the owner to a private security
company vault where the final crediting is expected to be carried out
later, but recently he has just been arrested and taken away. You can read
more on CNN news of March 30, 2006.

All the depositing documents of the above fund were on my name and they
are still in my possession, What I need from you is to stand as the
beneficiary of the above quoted sum and I will arrange for the
documentation which will enable the Security Company transfer / wire the
fund to your bank account. I have decided to do this only with you and use
this sum to relocate to European or American continent and never to be
connected to any of President Charles Taylor's conglomerates. This
transaction can be concluded within 2 weeks.
My questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. Can you keep this business as very confidential?
4. If you can sponsor this transfer, Is 25% acceptable to you, as your
commission?
CALL ME ON MY PRIVATE TELEPHONE:
Please reply me only with this email address: stevenbaka1@infinito.it, so
I can give you more clear explanations details and information about this
transaction. I will also need your direct telephone and fax number for
easy reach. Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as
contained herein is accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as
the secrecy it deserves. Please I need you to send me your telephone
number so I can give you a call immediately for more discussion. As soon
as I get your positive response, I will send you more information.
Best regard
Mr. Steve Ubka
