Subject: DEAR BELOVED
Dear Beloved,
With all sincerity and humility and deep pains I’m writing this
message to you expecting your assistance to my predicament. I am Mrs.
Jewel Taylor the estranged wife to the former president of Liberia
Charles Taylor, who was asked by unanimous decision by the internation
al community to step down from the corridors of power.
I was compelled to write this mail to you under duress and as a result
of the present situation have led me to this decision to better the
lives of my children. Currently now, I have decided to make do with
the sum of $20.5m (Twenty Million five hundred thousand United States
Dollars) belonging to my husband that was deposited in a security
firm, and I know that my husband will be faced with the similar fate
that saw the end of Sad am Hussein. And in that vein, i have decided
to relocate, with your assistance. Hence I write you for the money to
be transferred to your custody.
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 as well be
convicted by the court in Netherlands to face charges on war crimes,
this is what led to my decision as God K nows that i was never in
support of his involvement in the indecent maltreating of innocent
people in Pol itics.
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 money was lodged
in a safety deposit box in a financial Institution which I will
disclose to you once you show total commitment to me and my request
for assistance. I currently have the deposit certificate and can draw
up a change of beneficiary mandate to effect you as the beneficiary to
the funds. I am a trained economist by profession and it is in this
line that I will want you to take note that your services for
assisting me will be compensated to the best of my ability with 20% of
the total amount of ($20.5) while the remaining 80% is for me. I hope
to invest part of my share in your country on viable area of
investment as you may advise me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and 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 will want you as a matter of
confidentiality to respond through this mail {
dr_mrs_jtaylor@yahoo.fr} And also send your mobile telephone number as
well your fax line, so that I can give you a call if the need arises
as we are currently on political asylum n ow in West Africa. Once I
get your confirmation that you can be of assistance to me.
I look forward to your response with great hope of assistance from
your good self.
PLEASE REPLY ME WITH YOUR.
1) PRIVATE TELEPHONE.
2) YOUR FAX NUMDER.
3) YOUR ADDRESS
4) YOUR AGE AND YOUR OCCUPATION.
I remain Yours Truly,
Mrs. Jewel Taylor
