A VICTIM OF INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY AND INJUSTICE
I AM SENDING YOU THIS MAIL WITH ALL SENSE OF PURPOSE AND WITH THE BELIEF THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WORLD POLITICS AND THE CASE IN REFERENCE. I AM ONE OF THE CLOSE CONFIDANT OF FORMER LIBERIAN PRESIDENT MR. CHARLES TAYLOR WHO IS NOW IN THE HAGUE FACING WAR CRIME. BEFORE HIS TRAVAILS AND ETRAYAL BY THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.
I AM ONE OF HIS LOYALIST THAT ACCOMPANIED HIM FROM MONROVIA TO CALABAR WHERE THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT VOLUMTEERED HIS SAFETY AND GRANTED HIM ASYLUM. WE ARRIVED NIGERIA WITH VARIOUS SUMS OF MONEY, GOLD AND DIAMOND. WE WERE LIVING FREELY IN CALABAR BEFORE THE EVENTS OF 2006 WHEN THE NIGERIAN AUTHORITIES SUDDENLY DECIDED TO HAND OVER THE FORMER PRESIDENT TO THE UN OFFICIALS IN MONROVIA BOWING TO PRESSURE FROM THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
THE ACTION WAS SO SUDDEN THAT IT TOOK ALMOST EVERYBODY UNAWARE. SINCE HE WAS WHISKED AWAY, FIRST TO SIERRE LEONE AND LATER TO THE HAGUE, I AND A FEW OTHERS ARE STILL IN CALABAR WITH A REFUGEE STATUS BECAUSE I CANNOT LEAVE THE HUGE MONEY IN MY POSSESSION AND CANNOT DECLARE IT BECAUSE THEY WILL BE SEEN AS BELONG TO CHARLES TAYLOR AND WILL BE CONFISCATED. AFTER STAYING TILL THIS HOUR AND KNOWING THAT THE TIME IS NOW CONDUCIVE FOR ME TO LEAVE PROBABLY TO EUROPE, I WILL NEED SOMEBODY TO PARTNER WITH TO HELP FERRY OUT THE HUGE MONEY IN MY CARE.
I HAVE ARRANGED TO DEPOSIT THIS FUND WITH A SECURITY FIRM THAT CAN COURIER THEM USING DIPLOMATIC BOXES UNDER DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY TO GET THEM TO EUROPE. BUT TO ACHIEVE THIS, I WILL NEED SOMEBODY IN WHOSE NAME I CAN MAKE THIS DEPOSIT SO THAT HE CAN CLAIM THESE BOXES AND KEEP THEM IN SAFE CUSTODY PENDING WHEN WE CAN ARRANGE TO MEET AT A NEUTRAL COUNTRY. THIS ABOVE SCENARIO GAVE BIRTH ON WHY I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU.THE TOTAL CASH AMOUNTS IS $11,125,000:00 (ELEVEN MILLION, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS) ONLY. I AM WILLING TO PART WITH SOME PERCENTAGE OF THIS FUND TO YOU AS A COMPENSATION FOR HANDLING THIS ON MY BEHALF. YOU CAN ALSO NEGOTIATE WHAT YOU THINK WILL BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOU.
IF YOU CAN DO THIS FOR ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN ARRANGE TO PLACE THESE DEPOSITS WITH THE SECURITY FIRM. I WILL FURNISH YOU WITH FURTHER INFORMATION AND COPIES OF MY PASSPORT. I LOOK FORWARD TO A PROMPT RESPONSE FROM YOU WHILE THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE IN ANTICIPATION OF YOUR MAXIMUM COOPERATION. SINCERELY YOUR, GOODVINE CHUKWUKA
