Subject: REQUEST FOR YOUR KIND CO-OPERATION/ ASSISTANCE.
ATTN:
REQUEST FOR YOUR KIND CO-OPERATION/ ASSISTANCE.
This letter might come to you as a surprise because we have not met
before either in person nor by correspondence. I got your contact
through a discreet inquiry you appealed to me, as being quite astute in
private entrepreneurship there is no room for doubt in your ability to
render your solicited assistance involving no risk but your trust and
confidentiality.
I am Mr. Mark Taylor, the son of the deposed president of Liberia,
former African colony of the United States of America. I am making this
contact to you based on the fact that I need your aid to relocate to a
safe haven where my father's personal funds US$55.600.000 only (Fifty
Five Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States dollars Only) all
deposited in Four safety galvanized boxes in a financial institution
which shall be later disclosed to you upon your offer of acceptance.
We have been granted safety by the united states government and that of
the Nigerian government by a meeting held with both presidents on the
10th of July, 2003 at the just concluded Leon Sullivan summit held in
Nigeria, based on their resolution we have been offered political asylum
which will confine us to it's shores for the rest of our lives in the
federal republic of Nigeria by it's president.
What you may hear of my father should you decide to verify may not be of
a good report but he has learnt his lessons the hard way, all I am doing
now is for the sake of my mother and my two sisters of which I pray that
God will not let us suffer the sins of my father. Based on your
solicited assistance my mother and I are prepared to and willing to
consider the percentage you'll want to have from the money for aiding us
in this matter and will welcome your abilities. Upon my arrival in
Nigeria I will provide you with a phone line in which I can easily be
reached, as it is not often convenient for me to make or take calls from
my place of confinement.
More informations will be communicated to you as soon as you indicate
your readiness and the modalities for the movement of the funds are
perfected, then I will be coming over for a short time brake to meet
with you for a detailed discussion on what and how to invest the funds
upon your confirmation on the receipt of the funds.
I anticipate your prompt and committed response through my personal
email as stated above. I urge you to establish cordial contact/
relationship with me; you will understand that I am not a stranger as
such to you but some one designated to fly the colours of life together
with you.
Sincere wishes and best regards,
MR. MARK TAYLOR.
