Dear future Partner,
Compliment of the day, It is my intention to have this proposal addressed to
you via email which will be treated with utmost secrecy for protection of my
reputation.
The whole World is completely aware of the outbreak of war in Liberia, which
the REBELS have insisted that President Charles Taylor must step down from
power to give room for Dividend of Democracy in Liberia.
I am General Evans Tayor, The Former Chief of Defense Staff in Liberia. I am
58 years old. Sequel to out break of war in Liberia, I have in my
possession, the sum of $62.5,000,000.00 (SixtyTwo million,Five Hundred
Thousand US Dollars) being Government money assigned to me by Government of
Charles Taylor for rehabilitation of Liberian Army Barracks and purchase of
Military War Ship and this funds was diverted to my personal use when the
REBELS hijack the Government of Charles Taylor.
However, these funds was smuggled through the Boarder via a Diplomatic
Security Company here in African. And have the funds delivered in any of
there offshore payment office in order to work out modalities to have the
funds moved to oversea country.
This is 100% risk-free transaction and profit oriented and I have chosen to
strike this deal with you if only you are capable. As I am in exile with my
president in Nigeria, I have no traveling documents with me and I am still
under Nigeria Government caring for protection,therefore, this is the only
treasures I have and the future of my children depends on this funds since
all our account has been frozen, I have nothing to boast for except this
funds that has been deposited with the Diplomatic Security Company. Based on
this, your attention is highly needed to execute this deal.
I will offer you 20% of the funds and we can as well go into JOINT VENTURE
and the sharing ration can be 80-20%.
Finally, I would like if you can send to me via email your name and address,
direct fax\telephone numbers/mobile so as to reach you and discuss this
matter with you and upon the receipt of your positive response, I will
commence negotiation with the Diplomatic Security Company to have the
consignment lifted to there offshore payment office in Europe. I will secure
all Clearance Documents through Diplomatic Authorities, which the original
copies will be handed over to you upon the delivery of the consignment.
If you are really interested, ready and capable of handling this
transaction, kindly indicate by sending in your details for correspondence
while further details in respect of this proposal will be made available to
you in due course. Meanwhile, this is 100% risk free and your personality
and security are surely guaranteed.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and God Bless.
