Gooday.
With full trust and understanding I have decided to send you this
proposal, which I trust you will consider profit oriented. The whole
world is completely aware of the recent outbreak of war in Liberia, which the rebels have insisted that the government of President CHARLES TAYLOR must step down from power to give room for dividend of democracy in Liberia.
I am Mustafa Bello The son of late Gen Colin Bello the former chief of defence staff in Liberia, My father died while protecting the Government of Charles Taylor as his defence Minister. sequel to out break of war in Liberia, My father deposited the sum $9,million Us Dollars(nine million usd) with a security company in Benin Republic.
The money was assign to my father for the rehabilitation of
Liberian army barracks and purchase of military war ship and this funds
diverted to my Fathers personal use when the rebels hijack the government of CHARLES TAYLOR. Unfortunately he lost his life.
However, these funds was smuggled through the boarder via a Diplomatic Vault in Liberia and the fund was delivered to Security Company in Cotonou the capital city of Benin Republic in order to work out modalities to have the funds moved to overseas countries. Furthermore, this fund was sealed in two boxes as family treasure and will move as diplomatic Goods.
This is 100% risk-free transaction and profit orient and I have chosen
to strike this deal with you if you will not mind. as an asylum seeker I
have no right to be imposition of such huge amount of money that is
why I need somebody who will assist me and get this consignment cleared out of the security company, as you can see that my future and that of my younger sisters depends on this funds since all my fathers account has been frozen and for now, we have nothing to boast for except this funds that has been deposited with the security company. Your attention is highly needed to execute this deal. I will offer you 25% of the funds and we can as well go into JOINT VENTURE and the sharing ratio can be 75-25%.
Finally, I would like if you can send to me via email or fax your contact details, name and address, direct telephone number/mobile so as to reach you and discuss this matter with you. upon the receipt of your positive response, I will no if you can come down here in cotonou to meet
face to face with me or to commence negotiation with the security
company to have the consignment lifted to your country of origin through a diplomatic means. I will secure all clearance documents through diplomatic authorities, which the original copies will be handed over to you upon the delivery of the consignment.
