Subject: I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE
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 is at present standing trial at the World Court in The Hague. 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 at hand as at now as the United Nations is intending freezing all my husbands' assets and affiliate Bank Accounts including my personal Bank Accounts and assets 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 beneficiary 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 and the United Nations has promised to let my husband go free based on the condition that he should step down voluntarily from power and accept asylum in a West African Country which he did, He was later arrested and he is presently at the World Court in the Hague. Currently the said sum was 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 affect you as the beneficiary to the funds. My first son Chulky is 27years old and Williams is only 21 years old . My only daughter Helen died in October 1999 from complications of pneumonia. 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 Howard Taylor
