Subject: Assitances and Investment
My dear,
I know this mail may come to you as a
surprise.Nevertheless please don't be,I am Mrs.lilly aliou
,aged 59 years, the wife of Major Doncan
aliou, Chief Security Officer and Aide-de–camp to
the exiled president Charles Taylor of Liberia.
As a result of the on-going crisis in my country, I am
saddled with problems of my ill-health(protracted
diabetes and high blood pressure) which is currently
of increase in the recent time but more importantly to
me now is getting a trust worthy individual abroad to
receive the sum of US$7 million and 6.65kg of Diamond
on our behalf,this,I intend to invest in your country.
Due to the present crisis in my home city Monrovia, I
managed to sneak away with my son Hassan,23 years of
age and my only daughter,ana, 26 years, out from
Monrovia to Dakar-Senegal for our safety. We sneaked
into Dakar-Senegal through the land boarder by the
help of some government militia group who guarded our
safe exit from Liberia.
After the killing of my husband by the rebels, we
decided to come down here to Dakar senegal to take a
temporal assylum and also to secure the this deposit
as was made here by my late husband also, to further
look for a trust worthy person abroad to receive these
deposit upon it's release.My late husband made this
deposit before he was eventually killed in my presence
by the heartless rebels when they invaded our
residence in Monrovia.
I feel confident therefore to introduce myself to you
based on this problem and our present condition of
stay here since all our foreign contacts and
connections got lost as result of the crisis which
lead to the killing of my late husband and the
destruction of all his other properties and estates by
the rebels.I am desperately in need to move and
re-locate this deposit to your country for safe
keeping as this is the only wealth remaining for the
future survival and well being of me and my family out
of all my late husbands estates/properties.
For your assistance, a negotiable percentage shall be
discussed with you as I receive your positive
response on this issue,our lives are in danger due to
our present state of insecurity and condition of our
stay here.I plead and look foward for your help.
Please endavour to email me back for further
clarifications on this issue.
God bless you as you respond to my plea for
assistance.You may reply through my email box or
through that of my son at
hassanaliouhassanaliou@yahoo.co.uk
as he has more access
to the computer than myself.
Sincerely yours.
Mrs lilly aliou
