Dear VICTIMNAME,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by
virtue of its nature as being totally confidential and secret. Though I
know that transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive
and worried because you do not know me, but I am assuring you that all
will be well at the end of the day. I have decided to contact you due to
the urgency of this transaction. Also, I have been reliably and
convinced of your discreetness and ability to handle this transaction. Let me
start by introducing myself properly to you. I am kelem Taylor
Cousin and Personal confidant of former Liberian President, Mr. Charles
Taylor. I came to know you through my private search for someone I can
confidently trust on, and I believe we can execute this project.
I want you to help claim and clear this Package that is already in the
U.S, which I shipped through Diplomatic means with the help of a
Diplomat. The content of the Package is $8.2m (Eight Million and Two Hundred
Thousand U.S. Dollars), all in $100 bills. The Diplomat does not know
that the Package contains money, because it was declared as personal
effects and. These funds resulted from the excess sales of Diamond, as my
Country is very blessed with the Precious Stone. I then arranged for
the packaging of the funds and thereafter, it was shipped to the U.S
through a United Nation’s (U.N) Diplomat.
If you are willing and interested to assist me, kindly send to me Your
Mailing/Home Address and Your Private Phone and Fax numbers. Then I
will forward your contacts to the Diplomat, to enable him know exactly
where he will deliver the package after clearing it from the U.N Holding.
I will give you 20% of the total fund. Therefore, if this arrangement
is okay for you, try as much as possible to email me so that we can go
ahead and achieve our endeavor, and other modalities will be discussed
later including sending the keys of the boxes to you.
Looking forward to receiving your reply through my email address: kelemjt@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
kelem.j. Taylor.
