Attend urgently
I am John Knoe, an employee of Fortis Finance And Credit Union here in Netherlands. We have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On behalf of The Taylor's family, the deposed president of Liberia. Recently president Taylor due to International pressure especially from the United States of America and Britain was forced to step down as the Liberian president.
He was then granted asylum in Nigeria by the president Olusegun Obasanjo after much persuasions from International bodies Obasanjo handed him over to the International court - haven been charged for war crime. This disappointing state has not only produced unprecedented effect towards his businesses across the globe but the recent incident in connection with the final execution of Formal Iraq President, Saddam Hussein, has alerted his family to request that I seek out privately for the assistance of an individual that could be entrusted with issues involving financial management and investment.
Though it is our utmost prayer that the International court does not take matter beyond the known by executing him also. It is our hope that his voluntary set-aside from government could help the court see his innocence to charges levied against him. During his term as the president accumulated a huge amount of wealth, which runs into billions of dollars. These funds according to files presented to me by the family lawyer is consealed and was not accounted for in the datas presented by the bank to government. The omission is also not indicated to our bank auditors report. This was made possible as a result of my function as peronal accountant to the family and with the help of the family lawyer (Peit Elina van Drijk Mrs.). We do seek to personally transfer this unaccounted fund - total sum of US$14.5Million with your help immediately to a secured bank account abroad or relocate into a private account here in The Netherlands as the account beneficiary. As indicated in the file a total sum of US$380Million have been refund as funds in his personal bank account here in The Netherlands to the Liberian government which was the agreement reached by The Netherlands government and International court of Justice.
Upon arrival here in The Netherlands "Charles" personally requested that I visit him at his detention centre during which this issues I am presenting to you was discussed. I have therefor been directed by The Taylor's family to prepare said family consealed funds under my management to an oversea account or redirection into a Non-relative bank account, where the family could have access to funds for use and onward investment in no distant time. To avoid further lost of funds and unforeseen risk we keenly seek your assistance in securing a transfer/relocation of said US$14.5Million from this bank location and avoid any further discovery of remaining funds by The Netherlands authority. We are hopefully expecting to carry out this transaction under the code that it is either being funds meant for investment on property or payment for services rendered. This transaction is also entirely risk free both now and in the future as we intend to destroy all the documents relating to this deal as soon as it is concluded.
We have therefore decided that the fund will be shared as follows at the end of the transfer, 25% for you, and 70% for the family.Then the remaining 5% will be set aside to take care of any incidental expenses incurred by both parties during the course of the transaction. If you are interested to assist us, feel free to contact me on the telephone and fax numbers indicated above. Thank you as we look forward to a long lasting business/personal relationship with you. Also remember to include your private fax and telephone numbers in your reply. your potientials in area of investment will be apprecaited too.
Kindly reply to the family lawyer's private email: peitvandrijk@luxmail.com

John Knoe.
