Subject: Thank you
From: Mrs. Suzan Vaye.
Dear Sir / Madam,
Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. Although we never met before, I have every reason to believe that you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on your country. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and Fragile political situation in Liberia but it has formed consistent A headline in the CNN, BBC news bulletins.
My name is Mrs. Suzana Vaye wife of Late Mr. Issac Nuhan Vaye deputy minister of public works who was killed By Charles Taylor former president of Liberia. I hail from Monrovia in Liberia, currently am staying in Ghana with my son, due to the recent war in my country while making conceited efforts to travel out of Ghana as soon as possible.
My husband left some funds in a Security/Finance Firm, (name withheld for security reasons) before he died. Prior to his death in the hands of rebels, he handed me over a certificate meant for a secret Deposit, which he made in a Security / Finance Firm, If you may ask why do I need a foreign assistance or why can't I take the cash transfer by myself? The answer is that there was an exclusion clause in the original agreement between the firm and my husband that states unambiguously that 'nobody, not even himself, can have access to the consignment in the firm, and it has to be transferred to a foreign beneficiary outside Africa'.
This was done because he envisaged his arrest / death and this clause were inserted to prevent any seizure or infiltration of the fund. My decision to contact you is therefore, informed by this and due to my present social status and total ignorance of the business world. I believe you will appreciate the enormity of trust I repose on you by placing the fortunes of my family in your care. Permit me to request that you should reassure me that you would not let me down in any way. On my part, this is my assurance and guarantee to you. In as much as you follow my instructions carefully, religiously and promptly my guarantee of a hitch-free success remains unshakable.
I have contacted the Security / Finance Firm to confirm the deposit, which is worth US$15 Million, (Fifteen Million United States dollars) which I presume my husband made from the purchase of ammunitions for the Liberian Army. You will be given a negotiable percentage of the funds at the end of the transaction. If you will be willing to assist me claim the funds and invest it in your country.
Kindly confirm in your reply if you can come over to enable us conclude this transaction. Include your telephone and fax numbers, to enable me send some other important information across to you. My proposal is highly restricted and should be handled as an urgent transaction requiring trust and confidentiality.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs.suzan Vaye.
