Subject: Thank you as you do help.
My dear Friend,
I am sorry for taking up your time, but I pray you will have the
patience to go through my mail.
You should contact me for further clarification and detail
explainations if you so desire.I am Dr (Mrs) Susan Edward,personnal
assistance on Economics matters to the former president of LIberia
(CHARLES TAYLOR). I got your contact when I was searching for a
reliable and trustworthy person who can assist me for the clearance
and investment of US$15million.The truth is that a month before we
left office, I was giving the sum of fifteen million USdollars
(US$15 million) by my boss, Mr Charles Taylor to lodge in his
secret and private account in Niger Republic but I diverted this
money and deposited it with a private security company in
Cotonou,Republic of Benin for my private use knowing very well that
with the pressures on the ground that we are not going to last any
longer in the office for peace to reign in Liberia,shortly after
that, he was ordered to step down by America Govt., Ecowas and the
United Nation.
I am with the certificate of deposite issued to me and the
agreement document i signed at the time of deposition. I hereby
call on you to assiste me stand as my foriegn partner to withdraw
and receive the consignment from the security company on my behalf
as my foriegn partner whom i deposited it for, but mind you the
Security company is not aware that the content of the Trunk boxes
with them contains money, although I made them to understand that
the content of the boxes are my family treasures belonging to my my
foriegn partner so in no account will you let them know that the
content of the boxes are money for security reasons, so that is why
I have to pack it very well as treasures in those boxes and
deposited with them.
All i need from you now, is your sincerity as i do put my trust on
you and assurance that you will never betray me over this money as
soon as you receive it. You know this is all the money i have now
to settle dawn and take good care of myself and my two kids since
am a widow. Therefore, i have to be very careful of whom to do with
in order not to lose this money.
I am waiting for your urgent respond and state of mind towards this
offer, as i want this fund(Money) to leave Africa soonest before it
will be traced out by the Ecowas or United nation. Please contact
me on this e-mail address (mrs_sedward@fastermail.com) with your
following particulers:
1) Your Full name and address and (2) Your telephone number so that
i will notify the Security company management that my foriegn
partner is ready to retrive the consignments.
Please keep this transaction confidentail for no one knows where i
am now and for security reasons. Thanks for your understanding and
coperation with me.
NB: I promise to offer you 30% of the money and you will then help
in investing wisely in your country. I am assuring that this
transaction is 100% risk free.
Yours faithfully.
Dr.(Mrs) Susan EDWARD.
