Dear Friend
REF: NINE MILLION, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS($9.250 M) FOR INVESTMENT.
I am an attorney Jones based in Monrovia here the capital of
Liberia. This fund belongs to one of my clients,an EX-President of my
Country. He asked me to get a reliable someone to help him invest this
fund over there in your Country,before the present Government of my
Country claims it as they did to other of His properties. If you can assist
invest this fund wisely,20% of the Total sum will be yours. Due to
political Crises during his tenures few years ago, his entire family was
declared wanted and his properties/belongings were taken away.While he
runs for his dare life, luckily for him, the Nigeria president "Olusegun
Obasanjo's " rescued him by granting "Asylum" in Calabar-Cross River State
Nigeria.View: http://www.ai.org.za/electronic_monograph.asp?ID=8

Thereafter,his stay expires.The Federal Authorities appealed for his
release back to the republic of Liberia for trial.Recently Mr.Taylor
attempted escaping from "Asylum" but unfortunately,he was betrayed and
caught,he's now facing trial under the US custody in Sierra Leone.
