Subject: My regards, kindly assist me .
Dear Friend, 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 unanimous decision by the international community to step down from the corridors of power.
With grief as a result of my recent decision to better the lives of i and my children , this might not be good in the sight of man but with the present situation at hand has led me to this decision , i have decided to make do with the sum of $20.5m (Twenty Million Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) belonging to my husband in which i am a benefiaciary to, i decided to relocate it with your assistance the said sum to your private account to enable my relief .
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, 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 in a safety deposit box in a financial Institution which i will disclose to you as a matter of commitment to me on this plea for assistance. I have the deposit certificate and can draw up a change of ownership to effect you as the beneficiary to the fund. I am a trained economist by profession and it is in this line that i will like you to note that your services for assisting me will be duly compensated .
I have this to look forward to, so i would like you to keep this project close to your heart pending when we reach the conclusive end of this project. I want you as a matter of confidentiality to respond through this mail and also include your telephone number as well, so that i can give you a call if the need arises as we are currently on political asylum now in west africa. Once i get your confirmation that you can be of assistance i will bring you into a clearer picture of the situation at hand.
