ATTENTION,
I am Master. Johnson Taylor, the son of embattled President of war
torn
Liberia, Mr. Charles Taylor. My Father just stepped down as President
of Liberia some months ago, but matters were not helped when UN Special
War Crimes Court for Sierra Leone indicted my father for war crimes in
June last Year, demanding his prosecution.
Currently my father have been granted asylum in Nigeria, but I and my
brother ( Charles Junior)relocated immediately in July 2003 to Sao Tome
& Principe (Oil enrich island off the coast of West Africa). we are
currently in hiding there under new identities, awaiting the outcome of
events in my country, and what will become of my father and mother in
asylum. The reason is this, during the political crisis some years ago in
Sierra Leone (West African Country rich in diamonds), my father was
actively involved.
Early last year, he entrusted some large quantities of diamonds to my
mother. He told her if anything happened to him, we should use it to
take care of ourself. Fearing its detection due to the volume, my mother
sent me to Traveled to South-Africa with the diamonds for sells (on that
instructions) and I sold Them, getting a total of US$35,000,000.00
(Thirty-five Million US Dollars Only).This money I moved through diplomatic
channel to a security safe house in Europe for protective custody under
a different name. Now, the United Nations are intending freezing all
my father' assets and affiliate accounts of his families and the
government of Nigeria has refused issuing neither him nor my family any visa
to travel out of their country again because of the Current political
situation.
This is why I need you to please either travel to Europe to claim this
money and subsequently deposit it In a reputable bank for onward
transfer to your account, or to Instruct the security company to move the
funds out of there to any of there Corresponding banks or offices in
Europe or Asia for onward Transfer to your account.
Once you are able to show your sincerity I will send the necessary
correspondence and documentation related to the Transaction to you to
affect this. I am also willing to forfeit 30% of The fund, believing you
will hold 70% on trust for me and my one Son until we are able to
leave here and join you under new identities.
Please note that this is all what my family and I have left and we
intend to invest in a profitable business once the money is out of Holland.
If you cannot help us, simply destroy and forget I ever contacted you.
You can contact me via email [johnsontayl@netscape.net], enclosing
your Contacts phone Numbers.
May God guide you in whatever you decide, and thank you for taking out
Time to read this request.
Fondest regards,
Mr.Johnson Taylor.
