Subject: Have Mercy On Me & My Sister / Our Last Hope.
From Prince Zumah Taylor.
Dakar Senegal
West Africa.
Hello,Good Day,
I wish to solicit your help in migrating to your country and assistance with my funds.Briefly, I am a Liberian National and the Son of late Dr and Mrs.SULEMAN TAYLOR. Until their death,my father was the General overseer of the Diamond Mine in LOFA COUNTY.
The military forces loyal to the present Government invaded our house and assassinate my father and killed my mother also mistaking him for his brother USMAN TAYLOR who is the deputy to the leader of the revolutionary United Front (RUF ) REBEL. After this incident i knew i was not safe in my country any more so i gathered some valuables in our family villa and escaped for my dear life in the company of my Sister to DAKAR-SENEGAL.
Among the valuables was a file that contained details of a deposit my father made in a security company in SENEGAL. He deposited 5.5 million US dollars contained in a trunk box in my name as containing
family valuables.my father made this money from the sale of Gold and diamonds during his time as the General overseer.
Now that we are in SENEGAL and verified the transaction, we need your assistance to move this funds out of SENEGAL for investment in your country as we cannot invest here due to its nearest to our country and the war still going on there. We ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business,so that we can invest wisely.
We have it in mind to give you 20% of the total sum (5.5 million US Dollars), and 15% share in any investment we will embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside 5% of the funds for ancillary
expenses which you will make in course of this transaction- fax messages, phone calls, air tickets etc.This fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential as it only you who we have told about this.
This transaction, needs and deserves to confidential between you and my family as you our parent are know longer alive. Please get back to me on receipt of this message for futher directives. Note that this transaction is risk free.
Best regards
Prince Zumah Taylor.
