Subject: URGENT ENQUIRY,
FROM: IDRIS K. DARBY.
Bangkok-Thailand,
DEAR SIR,
It is my warmest pleasure writing you this confidential business proposal
irrespective of the fact that we have not met or done anything that will
repose absolute confidence but nevertheless, i am very determined to
communicate you with much conviction that you will give my proposal a
consideration, Secondly i'm afraid of this asian earthquake now, that is why
i needed your urgent help.
I am Idris Darby, first son to late Wilson Darby who died recently in the on
going crisis in liberia, western Africa. My late father, an aide to exile
one of the minister's of president Charles Taylor, died as a result of
uprising against his Government by rebel groups.
Meanwhile, before the death of my father he had taken me to Bangkok-Thailand
to deposit the sum of (US$12. 5 Million) Dollars in a Security Company.
Initially, he intended investing this money in a garment factory in Bangkok,
before the rebel forces assasinated him. This Fund was deposited as
Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This Fund was
part of millions of dollars the president mapped out for the purchase of
weapons and other defensive logistics. My late father sensing the weakness
of the ruling Government, he took me to Thailand to deposit the Fund in a
private security company as family valuables of containing gemstones and
financial documents.
As he returned from arms negotiation from eastern Europe, he was assasinated
by the rebels forces which prompted me to seek asylum in Thailand where the
Fund and the whole documents are with me right now. This resulted to killing
and mass action by the government and rebel soldiers. Infact, a lot of
people have been killed because of this war of which my father was one of
the victims. Perhaps, if you are conversant with world news you can
understand me better.
It is against this background that I am soliciting your assistance to help
us especially sourcing for reliable and trustworthy ventures where the Fund
will be invested when transferred to your account in your country, Since the
law of Thailand prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to operate a bank
account or to be involved in any financial transaction.
I am are now saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign
account into which this money can be transferred without the knowledge of my
home government who are bent on taking everything we have got. At the
moment, We are faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in
Thailand for fear of seizure or going through this same experience or
seizure because of terrorist activities/narcotics agencies.
I am soliciting your willingness to help me explore possible areas we can
invest this Fund in your country. I would equally appreciate your
willingness to help me relocate my immediate family of three to your country
where I will invest the sum. The cash, (US$12. 5 Million) means for the
would-be project is under my custody. I will therefore appreciate it, if you
can travel to meet with me in Bangkok-Thailand, hence my permit (Refugee)
only allows us to make a single trip out of the country guranted asylum.
Again to enable us have a memorandum of understanding, discuss on likely
profitable and reliable ventures where the Fund will be invested in your
country and negotiate on what percentage to offer you for your assistance
and support in making the transfer a success. after the consignment is
released from storage by the grace of God.
If you are willing to assist me, please reply me and include your private
e-mail and telephone number. Note That this business is 100% risk free and
your coming down here is guaranteed. This transaction is honest, trustworthy
and confidentiality.
Thanks for your Cooperation.
Warm Regards.
Idris K. Darby.
