immediately we approached Border side between Nigeria and Cameroom we were
apprehended by unknown gun-men near Border side, Charles Taylor was arrested
I managed to escaped with his briefcase which was on my possession by then.
I made my way to Ghana , for hide-out.
In that briefcase I discovered US$4.800M (Four Million, Eight Hundred
Thousand Dollars) only. The money is intact as I contact you now, I became
afraid to be in public places as I cannot go to bank or any where to deposit
the money due to some frighten on me as a result of what happened at
Cameroom Border that called for the arrest of Former President of Liberia
Mr. Charles Taylor, I therefore, put the money in a safe place here in
Ghana.

quietly contacting you on this deal. Can I trust you? This money is my
future life investment as good returns for my long obedient served to Mr.

for our sharing of the money 25% for you while 75% is for my investment in
your country. If this satisfies you send me acceptance letter by email so
that we can proceed on the deal.
