Subject: ASSITANCE
Dear Friend,
With full trust and understanding, I have decided to send you this
proposal, which I trust you will consider profit oriented. The whole
World is completely aware of the recent outbreak of war in Liberia,
which the REBELS have insisted that President Charles Taylor must step
down from power to give room for Dividend of Democracy
in Liberia.
I am General Mustapha Bello, The Former Chief of Defense Staff in
Liberia. I am 58 years old. Sequel to out break of war in Liberia, I
have in my possession, the sum of $62.5m (Sixty-two Million, Five
Hundred Thousand US Dollars) being Government money assigned to me by
Government of Charles Taylor for rehabilitation of Liberian Army
Barracks and purchase of Military War Ship and this funds was diverted
to my personal use when the REBELS hijack the Government of Charles
Taylor.
However, these funds was smuggled through the Boarder via a Diplomatic
Security Company attached to Benin Rep. and have the funds delivered
in any of there offshore payment office in order to work out modalities
to have the funds moved to oversea countries. Furthermore, this fund
was sealed in two Boxes as Family treasure and will move as a Diplomatic
cargo.
This is 100% risk-free transaction and profit oriented and I have
chosen to strike this deal with you if you will not mind. As I am in
exile, I have no traveling documents with me and I am still under Benin Rep
Government caring for protection, therefore, this is the only treasures I have and
the future of my children depends on this funds since all our account has
been frozen and for now, I have nothing to boast for except this funds that
has been deposited with the Diplomatic Security Company. Based on your
attention is highly needed to execute this deal. I will offer you 30% of the
funds and we can as well go into JOINT VENTURE and the sharing ration can be
70-30%.
Finally, I would like if you can send to me via email your name and
address, direct fax\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 the Diplomatic Security Company to
have the consignment lifted to your very attention in your country of
origin. I will secure all Clearance Documents through Diplomatic Authorities,
which the original copies will be handed over to you upon the delivery of the
consignment. Looking forward to hearing from you and nice to do business with you. I
will call you on phone so that we can discuss on this.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards.
General Mustapha Bello,
