Dear Friend,
I am contacting with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me.
I am Mr. vorie wazara, a citizen of liberia. I was the chief security officer
to charles taylor ( former president of liberia.) I am presently in Nigeria
and this is due to the crisis/war between the Rebel & Government forces
of liberia in year 2003. This I beleive is no news to you.
Then , I was in charge of purchasing ammunitions for the country
liberia. In one of these occassions, i was given the sum of
$15.3Million by Chrles Taylor to purchase ammunitions to help repele the
rebel troop from encroaching the capital city (Morovia). But, due to the
international pressure on Charles Taylor to relinquish power, especially
by the United Nation, I decided not to buy the ammunitions, so I secretly
deposited the fund as consignment with a financial security company through
diplomatic means pending the outcome of the peace talk discussion between
the rebel and government forces which was held in Accra-Ghana of which
i was one of the government
delegates that attended.
Fortunately as I expected the talk ended and Taylor was mandated by the
UN to step down power and he was granted assylum in Nigeria but, unfortunately
for me, I was among the 150 officer that were mandated to ellope with president
charles taylor to Nigeria.
Now, I'm the only one who knows about this fund ,but I can't claim it because,
the moment we arrived in Nigeria, all our travelling documents were collected
from us by the Nigerian Govt. and till now we have not naturalise.That is
why I need you to help me claim the fund from the security company where
I deposited it with the relevant documents that i shall make available to
you to back up your claims,and then we can share the amount on a mutual
agreed percentage.
Be rest assured that you absolutely stand no risk in this business. All
i require of you is 100% transparency to enable us see this business true.
I intend investing this fund on a viable venture in your country.I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me, to enable us discuss further about this transaction.
Best regard,
Vorie wazara.
