Dear Beloved
Greetings in the name of our saviour Jesus.
Taking into Consideration that we have not met before or had any previous
dealings,l know that this correspondent will come to you as a surprise
although it's with good motive.My name is Rev. David Evans,
an International Missionary based in Liberia.l am now in the Refegee Camp,In
Nigeria ,Western part of Africa.
A few year's ago I was in Liberia where I had established a little
congregation where I preached regularly, but the civil war escalated and the
church was converted to a hospital of sought. On one faithfull day three
Liberian Soldiers,whom l later learnth were special aids to the Liberian
former President (Late Samuel Doe) came to me and left one trunk box
containing money with me and swore to come back for it.
But you guessed it, they never did because,they were among those who were
captured and killed by one of the Liberian Rebels then,Charles Taylor,who
later became the president,but now in Political Asylum in
Nigeria.
After this incident,l was left with the box containing about $10 Million
Dollars(TEN Million United States Dollars) Because of the risk of keeping
the said box on my pocession due to the in-security in my temporary
Church/Hospital,l decided to deposite the aid box with a security Finance
Firm,which has it's branches in many parts of Europe,Asia,America and
Africa.
Over years after this urgly incident,l had tried all l could to locate
either the address of the slain Soldiers or any members of their immediate
families,but all to no avail.
Now because l was among those who were evercuated from Liberia recently due
to another round of war between the last President,Charles Taylor and other
Liberian Rebels,who were battling to take over power from him.l am now
writing to request for your
assistance based on your willingness to accept my wish and conditions on
which l want to use this said amount for.
Because of the natures of my profession (Missionary) l will not be able to
stand to claim this Fund for my personal use,as it will attract questions
from my followers who knew that l am only but a preacher,that is not
supposed to be identified with such amount of
money. That is why l'm seeking for your assistnace,so that you will stand as
the owner of the Fund.
All the documents used in lodging the box/money in the security Company are
all in my pocessions.l will send them to you as soon as you show your
willingness to take part in this objective. l will only need 30% of the
total sum, to support my Missionary works.
l want you to use part of the Money,(30%) to support your business and
family and the remaining 40% MUST be used for charity,especially the ophans
and widows within your Country and outside Your Country.
l pray the Almighty God will give you the courage to accomplish this in good
faith. If you think that you can be of use to this humanity services.
In his service
Rev. David Evans
