I have a new email address!You can now email me at: jewetaylor_private@yahoo.com
Good day,
Compliments of the day, I am writing you this letter with much respect and honor and I want all our conversation to remain private and confidential. I know my proposal will come as a surprise to you since you do not precisely know me, I got your contact email from a reliable source and I want to believe that you can be trusted with our family fortune.
Anyway, my mind accepted you and I believe that this proposal will bring mutual benefit for both of us. Let me use this medium to introduce myself to you. I am MRS. JEWEL TAYLOR, wife of CHARLES G. TAYLOR, the former President of LIBERIA, in West Africa. At present, my husband is now being arrested and waiting trial at the WAR CRIME COURT in Sierra Leone, due to the fact that the newly elected Democratic Government in Liberia with the collaboration of the OAU and the UN have succeeded in their bid to have my husband extradited and face war crimes charges over his role in the civil war, the outcome that can be very unpredictable.
We are now seeking an avenue to secure our family money from the custodian company before they are discovered. This is the reason for contacting you to assist us take custody of the money from the custodian company in Europe, as we are going to effected all documents in your favor as the new beneficiary of the safe-keeping.
Your obligations involve collection of the safekeeping from the Custodian Company and investment of the money in your country pending when all these troubles will be over.
I have decided to contact you for this job because you are not connected in anyway to my family and as such guarantee the safety of the money with you. You will benefit 25% of the US$10,000.000.00 for your kind assistance, and 5% for the expenses while 70% will be for my family's investment in your country under your care.
The money was deposited with a security company under disguise as precious items and nobody, has any slight knowledge of what is inside the box. In other words, there is no risk involved and so do not hesitate to ask questions where necessary. All the documents covering the deposition of the money with the security company are intact with me and we are going to release them to you as soon as we come to agreement.
If you accept this offer, please send your private telephone number; fax number and address to my son (MARTINS TAYLOR) for better communication and more information via his email address: (martinstaylor10@sify.com)
Your having to deal with my son is for security reasons; as my son's activities are less likely to be monitored or attract attention.
