FROM: AGNES CHARLES TAYLOR
Greetings.
My name is Mrs. Agnes Taylor, the wife of former Liberian President, Mr Charles Taylor, who bowed to the pressure from the international community to leave office as Liberian President in September, 2003. My husband together with our four children were granted political asylum
by the government of Nigeria after my husband stepped down as the President of Liberia to allow the restoration of peace in liberia, so presently,
we live here in the city of Calabar in Nigeria.
During my husband seven years rule as President of Liberia, he made a
lot of money from the sell of Diamonds in Liberia and a neighboring
country Sierre Leone which he deposited in several banks in Europe and America, most of these funds were deposited in my name.
However, due to the indictment of my husband by the United Nations war
crimes tribunal sitting in Sierra Leone, the International Police have
issued an arrest warrant on my husband and American government has given mandate to Nigerian government to hand over my husband to the UN
war crimes tribunal in Sierre Leone for trial. For this reason, United States government has frozen all our accounts in America and that which
they discovered in Europe including the accounts in my name, except one
with one of the Apex security companies overseas where I deposited
Thirty Million US Dollars,( US$30,000.000.00 Million ). In other to safe guide
this funds, a foreign partner's name must be used to avoid United
States government knowing about the money and subsequently freezing it
as they did to over 2 billion dollars belonging to my husband. Therefore,
I want you to assist me to receive this money in your care for security
reasons. If you accept to assist receive this money in your in your
care, I will reward you with 25% of the fund. In addition, I will allow
your company to use my own 75% share as a working capital for a period of three years at small interest which both of us will agree on later.
As soon as I have your consent to be indicated by your ability to
forward your direct contact telephone and fax numbers including your
full contact information, I will authorize our family lawyer to process the necessary documents that will prepare you as the beneficiary of the
money so as to enable you secure the release of same for our mutual benefits.
I await your reply. May God bless you and your family.
Mrs. Agnes Taylor
