Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU?
My Dear Beloved One,
With all sincerity and humility it is with deep pains I write you this
message of wishful assistance to my predicament. I am Mrs Jewel Taylor the
estranged wife to the former president of Liberia who was asked by unanimous
decision by the international community to step down from the corridors of
power due to his illicit involvement in the in-humane tyranny in the war
torn country.
I write you this mail under duress and as a result of my recent decision to
better the lives of I and my only son. I have made a decision which I know
might not be good in the sight of man but the present situation has led me
to this decision to better my live and that of my only surviving son.
Currently now I have decided to make do with the sum of $30m (Thirty Million
United States Dollars - NAME WITHELD FOR SECURITY REASONS) in which I am a
benefiaciary to and have decided to relocate with your assistance to your
private account the said sum.
My decision was reached when I could not conceive the thought that after the
United States Government has promised to let my husband go free based on the
condition that he should step down Mr. Collin Powell stated in a press
briefing that he would be indicted by the court in Netherlands to face
charges on war crimes, this is what led to my decision as God Knows that I
was never in support of his involvement in the indecent maltreating of
innocent people.
This decision is hard for me to make but I just have to make it for the sake
of my children's future. Currently the said sum was lodged in a safety
deposit box in a security company which I will disclose to you as a matter
of commitment to me and this plea for assistance. I currently have the
deposit certificate and can draw up a change of beneficiary mandate to
effect you as the beneficiary to the funds. I am a trained economist by
profession and it is in this line that i will want you to take note that
your services for assisting me will be compensated to the best of my
ability.
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
I have this to look forward to so I would like you to keep this project
close to your heart just as myself pending when we reach the conclusive end
of this project. I will want you as a matter of confidentiality to respond
through this mail and also include your telephone number as well so that I
can give you a call if the need arises as we are currently on political
asylum now in West Africa.
Once I get your confirmation that you can be of assistance I will bring you
into a clearer picture of the situation at hand. View this site to see a

I look forward to your response with great hope of assistance from your good
self.
I remain Yours Truly,
Mrs Jewel Taylor.
