Dear friend

Good day to you,
I am Mr. Frank Taylor, one of the sons of the most immedicate
past liberian president, Mr. Charles, Taylor. I was born to him
my his third wife in the year 1977 and as it is no my mother is
still in the war ravaged country. As you know, my father is right
now in Nigeria, at a Presidential Lodge in Calabar, the capital
of Cross River State, South South- Nigeria with most of his
children and the most senior wife under as you.
I do believer that that decision to leave my mother behind in
Liberian was as a result of the tribal sentiments seriously
attached to the crisis in Liberian which has equally make it
difficult for the war to stop.

My aim of writing to you this time is to seek your help because I
wasnt to do all things possible to ensure that I bring my mother
out of Liberia as soon as possible for every person to put the
past behind and start life afresh.

When the going was good, our father made a lot of deposits of
valuables for all his sons including some cash with which well
all start off when out of school. Unfortunately, I did not
graduate before the crisis became so intense.
My own was deposited at Lome- Togo in a seurity House and all the
documents are infact. Amongst other valuables, there's 25,
million dollar contained therein. The luggage was deposited as a
" Diplomatic Consignment".

I met a very competent lawyer in Nigeria who advised me that the
best way to claim the consignment is to look for a foreigner who
can stand as the beneficiary to claim the consignment the an
agreed pecentage will be given to the person at the end of the
whole thing. Besides the financial again, I personally want you
to equally view this thing from a humanitarian point of view.
Right now, I will want you to forward me the following

information:
(1) Your full name
(2) Your full address
(3) Your telephone and fax numbers

Immediately I receive the avove, I will forward some to the
lawyer for him to start processing the whole documents that will
faciliate the release of the consginment.
Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Yours faithfully
Mr. Frank Taylor
