Subject: Dear Beloved
Dear Beloved,
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 a
unanimous
decision by the international community to step down from the corridors
of power.
I write you this mail under duress and as a result of my recent
decision
to better my life and that of my children. I have made a decision which
i know might not be too good in the sight of men but the present
situation
has led me to this decision to better the lives of my children.
Currently i have decided to make do with the sum of $20m (Twenty
Million
United States Dollars) belonging to my husband in which i am a
benefiaciary
to, i 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 voluntarily from
power,
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 in Politics. 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/deposited in a safety deposit box in
a
financial Institution 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.
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 look forward to your response with great hope of assistance from your
good self.
I remain Yours Truly,
Mrs Jewel Taylor
.
