Subject: BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Attn: Sir/Ma.,
Greetings!
I am writing this mail with tears on my face, searching for an assistance to transfer, the sum of US$35.5M(Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) being an inheritance from my late husband, and I foresee the surprise this mail will bring to you as you do not know me before, though you may have heard the story of me and my family.
I am Mrs. Saral Vaye, the Wife of Mr. Isaac Vaye the Deputy Minister of Public Works in Liberia who was recently murdered on the 6th of June 2003 in Nimba- Liberia (may his soul rest in peace-amen), by President Charles Taylor. I got your contact through Liberian Information Exchange (L.I.E) while I was searching for a trustworthy foreign company/individual.
My late Husband, was murdered in a cold blood by the agents of government fighters, and after the murder of my dear husband, the government of President Taylor proceeded in confiscating every investment and wealth of my late husband, thereby frustrating and rendering my family financially helpless. Now we are left with nothing apart from this money, which my husband informed me before his death that was kept in a foreign country in a private security company as a family treasure. And all the documents relating to deposit is with my son, and our family attorney is also aware of this. Since the death of my husband, I was not allowed to have a peace in my country like a prisoner, hence am contacting you to assist us to transfer this fund from the security company to your company/personal bank account for any investment of your choice for my family. Again to enable me plan my movement with my family to your country to take care of the investment, as I cannot do anything right !
now under
my present financial helpless.
I have resolved with my son to map out 15% of the total sum for your efforts, and 5% to offset any expenses that might be incurred in process of the transfer, while the remaining 80% will be for my family investments in your country. My son will forward to you an agreement to protect us on the percentages, to be singed by you as soon as you indicate your interest to this regard.
For more clarifications on this issue, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you deemed necessary.
This is a risk free transaction, and the rest information will be forwarded to you as soon as your reply is received. Please do not neglect the confidentiality of this transaction even if you decide otherwise.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Saral Vaye Mrs
