Subject: LETTER FROM ZAIMI ROSS
Zaimi Ross
Abidjan Cote'Ivoire
zaimiross@yahoo.fr
Hello Dude
I hope you would not be embarrassed receiving this letter from me as we have not had any formal discussion or correspondences previously. My name is Zaimi Ross , daughter of late Mr. Emmett Ross former Liberian deputy Minister in the Ministry of National Security who was killed in LURD rebel's ambush in October 2001. You might not know much about Liberian civil war and her politics but the following web page links would assist you for better understanding:

We stayed briefly in Monrovia after his death until June 2003 when the LURD rebels with assistance of Guinean Government forced President Charles Taylor into exile. Because our late father was top member of President Charles Taylor's Government that have been fighting the rebels, it became obvious our lives are no longer safe as they had vowed to deal with all of us once they take over the Government. In September of 2003, I and my younger brother Evans escaped into exile in Republic of Ivory Coast and stayed at the United Nation High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) camp as political Refugees.
My father had in early 2001 moved out of the Country a total sum of Five Million Five Hundred thousand USA Dollars ($5,500,000.00) deposited in a fix/suspense account with a commercial Bank in Abidjan capital of Ivory Coast during one of his foreign trips to Source for arms for Liberian Government.
My father has been a successful farmer/trader before joining the struggle to liberate our Country. Could you please assist us by providing foreign account to receive this fund, invest and manage it as our partner in your country or elsewhere while we continue with our education? We have to migrate to your country after the fund is successfully transferred to the account you provided.
We would offer you 10% of the total money while the remaining will be for investment but what we solicit most is your trust in this transaction as we don't want someone who will betray us at last. Please reply us urgently so that we furnish you with every detail about the project. Please send your reply through my mail; zaimiross@yahoo.fr
Yours sincerely
Zaimi Ross
