Subject: get back to me
Dear Friend,
I am writing you concerning my money which is presently frozen in the Bank in London due to the present condition of my family. I am Chris Taylor, the son of the former President of Liberia, President Charles Taylor who is presently on exile.
During the political crisis in Liberia, my father deposited a huge sum of money for me and my sister in a bank in London and in a private security company for safe keeping.
Right now, I need you to stand as my father's foreign business partner so that the money can be transferred to your account, So that I can start a new life, a new business with my sister.
All the legal documents that my father used to deposit this money in the Bank and the security company are with me. Please I want this to be confidential because nobody knows that I am presently seeking asylum in Ghana.
Please I am ready to give your percentage of the whole money with some gold and diamonds if you show assistance to my condition.
I will be expecting your response as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
Chris Taylor
