Dearest one,
Kindly accept my apology for sending this mail to you. It is neither a sales solicitation nor spam. Though, I do not know how conversant you are with events and the fragile political situation in Liberia, it has mad consistent headlines on CNN, BBC and several news bulletins around the world. I am Mrs.Suzana Vaye, wife of the late Deputy Minister of Works in Liberia (Isaac Nuhan Vaye) who was murdered by Taylor during the regime of President Charles Taylor on the false accusation and trumped up charges of trying
To overthrow Charles Taylor.
You can verify this from many international newspapers like the one posted on the website below:http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm during my husband's stay in office, he raised a substantial amount of Money from Diamond Sales over a period of 6 years and these funds were carefully moved out through legal means and deposited in a Security Firm in Dubai.
The amount accrued from the Diamond sales is USD9.7M (Nine Million, Seven Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) and I confirm that these funds are fully Free of any liens or encumbrances and are clean, clear and has no criminal origin. My Children and I have been confined only to our country home since the Death of my husband and all our calls and movements are monitored, as a result, its absolutely impossible for me to do anything as regards retrieving the money. My only means of communication is via internet and you are being contacted because your assistance is needed in retrieving the funds on my behalf.
I want to use this medium to assure you that the transaction is absolutely legal and 100% risk free as all documentations needed to prove the source of the funds were submitted when the funds were being deposited and these documents have proven the origin of the funds as well as authenticating the fact that the funds are clean and has no links whatsoever with any form of illegality. Due to my present condition, its completely impossible for me to do anything as regards retrieving the funds and I implore you to send me the information stated below if you are genuinely interested in assisting
Me and my children. For your assistance in this transaction, you shall be entitled to 25% of the total amount and your role entails retrieving the funds on my behalf from the Security Firm in Dubai.
All information needed to retrieve the funds would be sent to you as soon as you send me the following information:
1) Your Full Names and address
2) Your Company or Residential Address
3) Private Telephone, Mobile and Fax Numbers where you can be reached at all
Time.
As these numbers are important because they would be forwarded to the
Security Firm so as to notify them that you would be claiming the funds on
My behalf. Please reply to my private email address,(mrs_svaye1@hotmail.com
Looking forward to receiving your response.
Yours sincerely,
