Dear Sir,
I am Major B. Harrison ,a senior security officer under charles
Taylor,former Liberian President.Having got great affection and absolute
appreciation for your human and personality,I wish to contact you for
absolute help to safeguard and bank this sum of $16.1m(Sixteen Million One
Hundred Thousand Dollars)into your account for me,preferably we can split
the sum into three bank accounts if your account will not accommodate all
the sum.presently this money is in the security vault in Europe.
I am a senior security officer in charge of arms and ammunition of Charles
Taylor troops.I and three officers were assigned to purchase arms and
ammunition in france,on getting to Ghana,we heard a news that U.S.A.
government had given an ultimatum for our president,Charles Taylor to leave
the country for a political asylum with immediate effect.Perhaps,we saw this
as a golden opportunities to divert the funds $48.4 for
our personal usage,then the funds were shared among us $16.1m each.
The arrangement of sharing this money is as a result of helping ourselves
and family since our president has been sent out by U.S government on
political asylum in Nigeria.The future of my family depends on this fund and
as much as i will be very grateful if you can assist me
to bank this fund.
Note:I don't want the leadership of president Charles Taylor to have idea of
where i am and the fund.When this fund is cleared and banked in your
nominated account,i will meet with you to establish an investment with your
assistance.
i am presently on political assylum in Pretoria South Africa, and my present
status does not allow me to make a trip out of my present jurisdiction For
your reward and expected sevices 40% will be for you,while 60% will be for
my family investment.
For now, you can contact me through this email address.once we establish
good contact i shall then give to you my telephone
May happy days & a fair future awaits you as you deserve.
Best Regards, reply to my private e-mail:
Major B. Harrison
