Subject: From Mrs. Saratu Rasaq Taylor
Greetings,
I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you this very urgent and confidential letter. I do hope my letter will not embarrass you since I had no previous correspondence with you.
I am sending this proposal with due sense of humanity, responsibility and with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic attention. I regret the inconvenience it may cause you based on the condition that we have not met before.
My name is MRS SARAH RAZAQ TAYLOR, wife of the immediate Liberian past Head of State, MR CHARLSE TAYLOR, who has been currently granted Political Asylum in Nigeria.
You must have heard over the media reports on our political asylum as a result of outright and cheap blackmail that led to loss of Power in Liberia.
I got your contact in my search for a reliable and trustworthy partner, who I can do business with. I would want to have good confidence in you as I have view your profile and found out that you are a good responsible personality.
I have no doubt about your capacity and goodwill to assist me in receiving in to your custody (FOR SAFETY) the sum of Eighteen Million, five hundred thousand united states dollars (USD18,500,000.00). This money is currently kept in a Safe Deposit Box (S.D.B) with a safe keeping Firm in Accra-Ghana.
The money was cleverly dodged and deposited with the help of our family Lawyer; RICHARD WILLIAMS(+233-24- 364 5215). Fortunately, our family lawyer had secretly protected this transaction from the notice of the investigators and have strictly advised that the funds be urgently move to oversea to any trust worthy family friend without delay for security reasons.
All our local and international business outfit is under serious surveillance by security agent. This money is our only hope to stay alive. My family have therefore agreed to compensate your good self with 20% of the total deposit, when you finally cleared the deposited box from the security firm and lodge in your private account, 5% is set aside for any expenditure that
you may incur in the course of executing this transaction.
Be rest assured that every modalities have been put in place for a smooth execution. Due to current situation in our country, it has become quite impossible for us to travel to any part of the world. I am contacting you as a matter of urgency to help, represent my family in collecting the funds on our behalf and assist in investing it for us in a viable business in your country.
If you are interested in assisting me, write through my alternative email: saratorasaq@yahoo.com <mailto:saratorasaq@yahoo.com> for obvious security reasons.
It is imperative that you keep all our communications very secret. Do not mention my family's
name or disclose the transaction with any body. But if you are not interested in assisting me, still get in touch so that I can make an alternative arrangement as time is of essence.
Please do not expose me.
I awaits for your prompt response and also look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Saratu Rasaq Taylor
