Subject: Hello
Dear Sir,
My name is Harry Kamara. I work in Liberian United Bank Inc. (LUBI) in Monrovia, Liberia. I am the account officer in charge of Mr. Abubakar Abdulraheem accounts.I got your e-mail address from the Foreign Services Department of our Foreign Affairs Ministry.
My purpose of writing you is to ask for your bank account where we can successfully secure the sum of ($15.5 Million) Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars. For your information, Mr. Abubakar Abdulraheem deposited the sum of ($15.5 Million) Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars in our Bank as a Muslim Development Fund. But in private he told me as his account officer that the money was his personal money, which he made as Mr. Charles Taylor front man for his vast diamond business. Mr. Charles Taylor was the President of Liberia before rebels forced him out of power.In the year 2002, the rebels murdered Mr. Abubakar Abduraheem along with his family because of his association with the ex- President Mr. Charles Taylor, in the heat of the political crises.
The Management of my bank had earlier met and mandated me as his account officer to look for late Mr. Abubakar Abdulraheem's Muslim group to come and claim the money. However, I alone know that the money belongs to Mr. Abubakar Abdulraheem and not to any Muslim group. So now I want you to stand as one of the members of the Muslim group to enable us claim the money from the bank.
If you are interested to stand as one of the members of the Muslim group, I need the following information from you:
1. Your private phone number and fax number
2. Your full name
3. Your home address which I personally need because I do not know you
too well before now, only that I decided to work with you on trust, believing that you will not cheat on me.
Note that we can conclude this transaction within two weeks from the first day I will submit your information to the Management of our Bank. I will give you ($5.5 million) Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars after we have concluded this transaction.Be duly informed that I will resign from banking work to come over to your country with my family after the transfer of the fund into your account. I will engage myself in international business since I will have a lot of money for any kind of business. There is no risk in this business. I will give you all information you may need about Mr. Abubakar Abduraheem.This is 100% risk free.You need not to be afraid because in as much as I would want my reputation to be protected I will also want yours to be protected too.
I am waiting for your urgent response.
Best regards.
Harry Kamara.
