Subject: GOOD DAY MY DEAR FRIEND GET BACK TO ME FOR URGENT BUSINESS
Dear FRIEND,
With all sincerity and humility,I regret any embarrassment that my letter might cause you, as we have not met before physically or through correspondence before this time.My name is MRS. JEWEL TAYLOR,the estranged wife of the immediate Liberian past Head of State, MR. CHARLES TAYLOR. You must have heard over the media reports on our political asylum as a result of outright and cheap blackmail that led to loss of Power in Liberia. I got your contact in my search for a reliable and trustworthy partner, who I can do business with. I would want to have good confidence in you and i hope you will not take undue advantage of my problem to harm me.
I have no doubt about your capacity and goodwill to assist me in receiving in to your custody(FOR SAFETY safe keeping for me) the sum of twenty point five MillionUS Dollars(20.5M,USD). This money is currently kept in a Safe Deposited Box (S.D.B)with a Security Firm .which i will disclose to you as a matter of your commitment to me on this plea for assistance. currently i have the deposit certificate and can draw up a change of beneficiary mandate to effect you as the beneficiary to the funds.
Fortunately,our family lawyer had secretly protected this transaction from the notice of the investigators and have strictly advised that the funds be urgently move to oversea of any trust worthy but ANNONYMOUS foreign family friend without delay for security reasons.in realisation that my husband will be face with the same fate that saw the end of saddam huissien.
Our entire local and international business outfit is under serious surveillance by security agent. This money is our only hope of surviving with my children. i have therefore dicided to compensate your good self with 20% of the total fund( money), when you finally cleared the deposited box from the security firm and lodge in your private account, 10% is set aside for any expenditure that you may incur in the course of executing this transaction.I currently have the deposit certificate and can draw up a change of beneficiary mandate to effect you as the beneficiary to the funds.
Be rest assured that every modality has been put in place for a smooth execution? Due to current situation in ourcountry,it has become quite impossible for us to travel out to any part of the world. I am contacting you as a matter of urgency to help me, represent my family in collecting the funds on our behalf and assist in investing it for us in a viable business in your country.
If you are interested in assisting me to protect my family's interest without having evil mind against or intension to take advantage of this,For obvious security reasons, it's important that you keep all our communications very confidential.Do not disclose the transaction with any body.But if you are not interested in assisting me, still get in touch so that I can make an alternative arrangement as time is of essence.
.
I await your prompt response and also look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with you.For free conscience and better understanding within us,and easy comunication
