Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 05:45:22 -0700
Subject: IN GOOD FAITH

ATTENTION: MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO

We have obviously not met and as such you may be astonished to
receive this mail. I am Mrs Jewel Taylor, the wife of the embattled former
President of Liberia, Charles Taylor. Following the offer of a Political
asylum to my husband by the Nigerian Government, we arrived here in Abuja
on the 11th of August, 2003. My husband is now in Calabar in the south eastern
part of Nigeria while I, and the rest of the family are in an undisclosed
location here in Abuja. The reasons why I am here is to assist in the protection
of my husband's scattered and battered investment as well as liaise with
the New Home Interim Government, now lead by Moses Blar and the international
community especially the West African Sub-regional Governments.

Due to the hurried way and manner that characterized my husband's exit from
office.And coupled with the effect of the on going civil war, the activities
of the rebels and the continuous seizure of my husband's assets in the Western
world especially in Swiss where over $150m bank investments has been confiscated.
I then carefully concealed the sum of $12.500,000.00 (Twelve Million, Five
Hundred Thousand US Dollars) Which were hidden, and packaged in two (2)
boxes and the boxes are presently being kept with a Security Deposit House
as Family Treasure and the certificate of Deposit of the Treasures is in
our possession,We are appealing for urgent assistance to move the fund to
your country/private or company bank account or any country where you believe
the fund will be safe for investment. The two boxes containing the above
sum in cash were moved out of Liberia a few days ago. The security firm
has confirmed the safe arrival of the boxes. The certificate of deposit
issued by the firm is now with me. The content of the boxes are unknown
to anyone with the exception of the two of us. The boxes were moved after
being marked as diplomatic cargos. In such a way that no customs will query
the cargo.

The reason that I write to you now is to request for your in- dept co operation
in claiming this cargoes from the Security firms affiliate offices in europe,u.a.e
and canada . Once you have declared your intension to help my family with
this. I will send you a power of attorney, the certificate of deposit and
also the address and contact phone and fax numbers of the company. You will
be well rewarded for doing our family this favour. 35% will be yours while
5% will be sent aside for all possible expenses that may have been incurred
in the course of the claims. The rest 60% will be left for the entire family
for investment through your guide in your country. Since my movement is
restricted by political law of asylum. You will be introduced to a friend
and attorney of the family who is presently based in here to assist you.
He is incidentally our family attorney in this country. He is Barrister
OLISA AGBAKOBA (SAN), his emails address will be sent to you as soon as
you comply to my email. I will like to stop so far while hoping to hear
from you as soon as it is possible. Like I said earlier, you should understand
that someone enjoying political asylum in another man's country is legally
bound from any form of economic transaction. This makes this ransaction
very confidential.

Please, if you can work with me you must keep my secret Moreover, the family
has given you full trust and it will be expected that you will not let us
down. Endavour to reply me through my private email addresses via jewel_taylor1@mail2world.com
or jew_tay_jet@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Yours truely,

JEWEL TAYLOR.(For the family)
