Subject: Prof.Bill Sogloh
Attention dear friend,
My name is Prof.Bill Sogloh, personal assistant to the former Liberian President Mr.Charles Taylor. I am presently hiding in a neighbouring West African country Burkina Faso, since Taylor lost power as president of Liberia.
Due to the political situation in Liberia, Charles Taylor ran to Nigeria where he is on political assylum. I am contacting you based of a business which will benefit two of us. During the regime of Charles Taylor as president of Liberia, we made much money from the sales of gold and diamond, you maybe aware that God blessed Liberia with these precious stone, which is the main cause of the power tussle Liberia is facing till today. When Taylor was in power, we travelled to some neighbouring countries and deposited large sums of money, gold and diamond. I particularly want us to get hold of a trunck box deposited at a finance company in Burkina Faso.
This box contain the sum of five million and fifty thousand US dollars (us$5.50m) with some quantities of gold and diamond. The box was deposited as a diplomatic consignment, meant for president Charles Taylor’s overseas business partners. The finance company do not know the box contain some money, it was regisgered as personal effect of some foreign diplomats. The consignment was documented with my name as the depositor, and i have the deposit certificate from the finance company.
Since the consignment was deposited as a diplomatic consignment meant for Charles Taylor’s Overseas business partners, i will introduce you to the finance company as Charles Taylor’s partner/owner of the consignment. Two of us will meet at the finance company to take delivery of the consignment. I also want you to look for someone to buy the gold and diamond as soon as we take delivery of the consignment.
Recently,the United Nations(UN) and the American government gave instruction that all assets and bank accounts belonging to Charles Taylor,his family members and all ministers who served in his government be frozen,also,that Charles Taylor should be brought back from Nigeria to face The International Court Of Justice,for war crime charges and crimes against humanity.
Contact me urgently on;
Email; sogloh@terra.com.mx so that i will give you details of the finance company, and make arrangements on how to meet urgently.Send your phone number when replying.
Best regards,
Prof.Bill Sogloh.
