Dear Sir,
I got your contact when searching for an honest, God-fearing and
trust-worthy foreign partner to assist me in transacting this very lucrative
but confidential business.
I am Dr.Jewel Belony one of the Special adviser/Assistance on security
matters to the former president of Liberia Mr. Charles Taylor, who was
forced into exile to Nigeria on 11 August 2003 after he handed over power to
his Vice president Mr. Moses Blah.For better understanding, please view
these websites Below:

I am presently on exile in Ivory Coast on Political Asylum.
Following the "international war Crime Court" demand of him for war
Crimes, I wish to solicit your assistance to handle this urgent and
confidential business which involves US$25M (twenty-Five Million United
States Dollars) deposited with a security company in The Netherlands.
The deposition of this fund was made with a very strong written agreement
and signatory under a security code with my name as the beneficiary, and was
registered as a consignment containing photographic materials. The money was
to be used to purchase arms and ammunition to fight war against the rebels.
The first and second phase of the money has been utilized with the arrival
of the last consignment of ammunition that was seized by
Nigerian troops on peace keeping mission in Liberia.
The relevant document to this deposited consignment, are with me because I
was the one that signed all the papers, before it was deposited with the
Security Company.
Now that our regime is no more, The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is
putting pressure on the Nigeria President (General Olusegun Obasanjo) to let
go of ex-president Charles Taylor, together with the recent issuing of a
warrant of arrest by the International war Crime Court for genocide.
I intend to invest this fund in any lucrative business, in your country.
This is due to stability of your economy. I have resolved to give you
20% of the total sum for your assistance in getting this fund moved out from
the security company for investment purposes.
I can not claim the fund by myself due to the fact that the financial
regulation in Ivory Coast does not permit me an asylum seeker to own such
funds. I do not want to do anything that will jeopardize this transaction,
as it is my only hope after long term of service.
If you are ready to assist me I will give you more details on the way
forward. Please send me your confidential Telephone and Fax numbers for easy
communication.
As I await your reply, your trust and confidentiality is highly solicited
for.
PLEASE CONTACTS ME THROUGH MY
PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS:jewelbelony@hotmail.com
