Subject: URGENT RESPONSE
From : Mrs. Sarah Vaye
ATTN: The Managing Director/ CEO:
Dear Sir/madam,
I am writing this mail with tears on my face, searching for an assistance to
transfer, the sum of US$35.5M(Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) being an inheritance from my late husband, and I
foresee the surprise this mail will bring to you as you do not know me
before, though may have heard the story of me and my family.
I am Mrs. Sarah Vaye, the Wife of Mr. Isaac Vaye the Deputy Minister of
Public Works in Liberia who was recently murdered on the 6th of June, 2003
in Nimba -Liberia (may his soul rest in peace amen), by President Charles
Taylor. I got your contact through Liberian Information Exchange (L.I.E)
while I was searching for a trustworthy foreign company/individual.
My late Husband, was murdered in a cold blood by the agents of government
fighters, and after the murder of my dear husband, the government of
President Taylor proceeded in confiscating every investment and wealth of my
late husband, therebyfrustrating and rendering my family financially
helpless. Now we are left with nothing apart from this money, which my
husband informed me before his death that was kept in a foreign country in a
private security company as a family treasure. And all the documents
relating to deposit is with my son, and our family attorney is also aware of
this.
Since the death of my husband, I was not allowed to have a peace in my
country and also being monitored like a prisoner, hence am contacting you to
assist us to transfer this fund from the security company to your
company/personal bank account for any investment of your choice for my
family. Again to enable me plan my movement with my family to your country
to take care of the investment, as I cannot do anything right now under my
present financial helpless.
I have resolved with my son to map out 15% of the total sum for your
efforts, and 5% to offset any expenses that might be incurred in process of
the transfer, while the remaining 80% will be for my family investments in
your country. My son will forward to you an agreement to protect us on the
percentages, to be singed by you as soon as you indicate your interest to
this regard.
This is a risk free transaction, and the rest informations will be forwarded
to you as soon as your reply is received. Please do not neglect the
confidentiality of this transaction even if you decide otherwise.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Mrs. Sarah Vaye
