MUTUAL BUSINESS COLLABRATION
ATTN:Sir/Madam,
No doubt,I know you will be surprise to receive this business proposal.I got
your contact from the chamber of commerce and industry here in Johannesburg
when I was making enquiries for my investments in yourcountry.Although I did
not disclose my business intention to them rather I decided to contact you
directly. Firstly,let me introduce myself.I am Mr BROWN TAYLOR son of Mr
CHARLES TAYLOR the former president of Liberia.My father has agreed to
relinquish power as step down as the president of Liberia.
He took this painful decision due to the pressures mounted on him by the
international communities especially the United States of America.He agreed
to resign and seek asylum in a neighboring country in order to give peace a
chance. My father has been a freedom fighter who had fought all his life for
the well-being of the Liberians but due to the multi-tribal nature of our
country, rebels from the enemy tribes have fought the ruling government to
the point where he has became almost impossible to maintain peace and
stability hence his acceptance of an asylum offer from President Olusegun
Obasanjo of Nigeria under some conditions. One of the conditions is that an
international peace keeping force must be on the ground before he goes into
Asylum. This is just to buy more time so that our wealth could be relocated
to foreign countries for investment.
As a result of his current predicament, he asked me to come back mmediately
from Scotland where I was doing masters in the Glasgow University. Upon my
arrival, he disclosed to me about the sum of FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR (US$5.5M) he deposited in the vault of a
private security company in Johannesburg, South Africa.He said that this
money was taken to South Africa through diplomatic means with the assistance
of an African head of state. He had wanted to transfer the money directly
into a foreign account via bank to bank transfer but due to the fact that
all eyes are on him, he chooses this as an alternative. My father instructed
me to seek for a reliable person overseas that can provide an account where
this money can be transferred to safely for possible investment in the most
legal way. We are ready to offer you 20% of this sum for your assistance
while 5% will be set aside for any expenses that may arise in the course of
the transfer. You
can contact me through my South Africa telephone and fax numbers as I am now
in South Africa with the rest of my family except our father who leave since
to Nigeria. You should note that this transaction is 100% risk free and the
transfer will be done in the most legal way.Thanks as I await your immediate
reply.
Regards,
Mr BROWN TAYLOR.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP OR YOU CAN CALL ME ON MY PHONE IMMEDIATELY
