From: "jean Dann" <jean.dann@btconnect.com>

Subject: Hello,
Hello,
I hope this letter will not upset you, as we have no previous discussion on this matter. I am Miss Rosemary Graham, daughter of Mr. Donald Graham; a Liberian former Director of Liberian Mining corporation (LMC) who was assassinated by the Rebels fighting former President Charles Taylor's Government in Dec.2002.
My mother died of heart attack, one year before my Father's death. I and my brother John become orphans without anybody to care for us; even the Government, which our father served and lost his life, didn't do anything to assist us. My father unsure of Liberian Political future had secretly moved the sum of $18,500,000.00 [$18.5 Million] out of Liberia and deposited it at a commercial financial firm in a neighbouring Country. That was at the period when Liberia was facing United Nation Embargoes and he had intended to use the money for future elections.
We left Monrovia as political refugees in August 2003 when the President; Mr. Charles Taylor was forced into exile by the UN/ECOWAS authorities to pave way for tribal reconciliation in our war torn country which will lead into bringing the rebel soldiers that killed our father into Monrovia. We were advised to leave Liberia to avert victimization in the hands of our father's political enemies.
It was unfortunate that the Government that our father served and lost his life did not make any arrangement to cover us in their plan to move into comfortable arranged exile. The president Mr. Charles Taylor took with him other cabinet families who served with him when he was going on exile but we were abandoned behind in Monrovia. So because the Rebels are coming into Monrovia take over the Government we have no alternative than to escape as they may kill us as they killed our father.
I hereby request you to assist us by acting as our late father's foreign business partner so that you will help us to transfer the money to your country or any other safe location for investment purposes. You will also help us to migrate to your country to continue our lives as orphans and with your guidance; the money will be invested in profitable ventures while we continue our education.
Kindly inform me what percentage of the total sum you wish to receive as compensation for rendering your help.
You should please treat this matter as confidential, as I would not like to expose the existence of the money for security reasons ranging from our refugee status here and our father's status as civil servant in the past Liberian Government.
Kindly study my request.

Thanks in advance for saving our lives.
Yours Sincerely,
Rosemary Graham
