Subject: GOOD DAY TO YOU
Dear Sir
This is to acknowledge the good report I received about your
personality through the contact I made here from an international business
consultant here in Banjul Gambia. Transaction of this magnitude is bound to
make one apprehensive but I crave your patience to read through and
understand the details.
Before I go further, I would like to introduce myself to you. I am
Mr .Bill Taylor, a cousin to the
incumbent president of the Liberia Mr. Charles Taylor
Due to the war then in our country, the president, Mr. Charles Taylor
was using me through diplomatic means to send money out of the country
with the fear that he may be overthrown anytime by the rebels. This, we
have done on many occasions, the sum of the deposits defer from one to
another and I have all the documents regarding the claims of the
deposits. There are seven consignments in all containing seventy million
united states dollars in all and ten million united states dollars apiece.
I have been here in Banjul, Gambia for some time now thinking of what
to do with this money hence the rules and regulations of Gambia do not
allow any asylum seekers to operate an account.
Now the president Mr. Charles Taylor have been forced out of the country by
the rebels and now in Nigeria, this has been my golden opportunity. I
have
successfully deposited this money with one of the Finance Company In
Dubai United Arab Emirate and the content of the box were not disclosed
to
the Security Company for security reasons. But you will assure me of
maintaining absolute secrecy and confidentiality regarding any information that
I
have given you Today. Again you may be required to go to Dubai
to claim this Box after your verification on my behalf as I will change
all
related documents in your name to easy the whole matter.
My aim of contacting you is to solicit for your support and assistance
to see that we get this fund transferred into your bank account. I have
already involved an attorney in this transaction to see that all
arrangements of this business is legal, which he will help us to work out the
modalities of smooth transfer of this money into your account. On your
response to this letter, we will discuss the percentage of the whole
money that will be given to you for your assistance.
If this business interest you, you are required to forward your
response through Email Address. This
transaction is 100% risk free.
Feel free to ask any questions and seek for more explanations. On my
receipt of your favorable response, I will give you more clarifications
on the modalities needed for the
successful completion of this transaction. For your information, all
the relevant documents regarding the deposit of this fund are here with
me. Note that Mr. Charles Taylor does not know where this money
was deposited as the war never allowed us have a good communication. And I supposed you know his state now, that he is facing trials.
I am determined to work with you regarding the claims and transfer of
this funds in all sincerity and I also plead your sincerity.
Best regards,
Mr. Bill Taylor
