Subject: Important Message
This letter is for your personal attention and should be treated as such. I am contacting you because I want you to assist me finalize a transaction which involves the transfer of funds and your role is to receive the funds on my behalf. I therefore crave your indulgence to read the details of the transaction below.
My name is Mr. Silas and I was the personal assistant (PA) to the former Liberian president, Charles Taylor. While he was in exile in Nigeria, I worked for him and had the responsibilities to handle the contracts given to him by some state governors in the region of Niger Delta. I was entitled to a certain commission for every project executed. The cut owed to me resulting from past years business dealings amounted to the sum $8.5milUSD. He has always promised to pay me but kept on postponing it. He paid just at the last minute and in a hurry.
Recently after the election in Liberia, a request was put to the Nigerian government for his arrest. He told me in confidence that he was going to escape from Nigeria to avoid arrest. He left home on the 27th of March, 2006 but did not disclose his destination. Before his departure, he handed over to me some sacks containing the sum of $8.5milUSD meant to be my commission while he left with other sacks of money. He was caught at the border post while attempting to cross over to Cameroon. The authority here has been interviewing me on some of his business activities. They searched my house but they got nothing from me. I made sure there was no money found in me.
The sacks containing the money was disguised and kept in a warehouse.
The security company that will handle the transfer of the funds has given me conditions before they can handle the transfer of the money. One of their conditions requires that I must have a foreign partner capable of receiving the funds. I then promised them that I will forward the name of my foreign partner. Now, I want you to stand as my foreign partner into whose account the money would be transferred to.
Upon your acceptance to work with me, I will prove to you the existence of the money incase you have doubts about this letter. Furthermore, my lawyer here will prepare a binding agreement to protect the transaction and all parties concerned. I have a lawyer that will prepare the agreement and I will pay him.
For your involvement, I am prepared to negotiate with you for your compensation.
But, my fear is can I trust you? I need your unwavering assurances.
I must emphasize here once again that the legality of the business is guaranteed as relevant documents would be procured to prove that the money is from a good source.
Your prompt response is expected in this regard.
Mr. Silas.
