Dear Sir/Ma,
Complement of the Season.
I could not imagine the surprise this will bring to you,But please be rest
assured it`s with good faith and intention from a family in dare need of
your assistance to help us to move into your account an inheritance sum of
(US$22.5 Million) (TWenty two MILLION five hundred Thousand UNITED STATES
DOLLARS), into your private bank account or your company?s
account, in which God will bless you for rendering a helping hand to my
family because of the present condition of my Husband.
My name is MRS EUNICE TAYLOR,the wife of former Liberia President.(Charles
Taylor).Before my husband was arrested,he took me to LONDON to deposit the
sum of US$22.5 MILLION (Twenty two MILLION five hundred thousand UNITED
STATES DOLLARS) in the Foreign Fund Diplomatic Security Company based in
Europe for safekeeping.As if he foresaw the looming danger that was coming
on his way. This money was deposited in a metal sealed boxes as
consignments labeled '`FAMILY TREASURE` with the security company.
My only son, JOHN KELLY TAYLOR and I have met and agreed after consulting
financial expert who humbly advised us that the best way to realize and
safeguard this fund without British Authority being after the money or to
the knowledge of the current Liberia government who had tactically frozen my
Family`s assets,hence the need to involve a foreigner.
My HUSBAND was arrested in Nigeria/Cameroon border when he was running for
his dear life as the whole world has communicated through BBC, CNN that the
former President of Liberia has been arrested and he is currently facing
trial in NETHERLANDS because of the War crises in my Country. My reason of
contacting you is based on the above stated fact: I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could
be transferred upon redeemed from the security company.
I want this fund to be moved to a safe country where people will not know
us and for good investment.Please, if you are interested in helping my
family to secure this money morally and financially, we will give to you 20%
of the total sum, 70% will be for my family's investment in your country
while 10% will be for refunding all expenses that might be Incurred during
the process of this transaction.
Note that this Issue should be kept secret and confidential for security
reason because of the present situation of my Husband.for further directives
and clarification of this transaction.I would like you to send me your
direct telephone and fax Numbers for
easy communication.
I will wait for your respond.
Thanks for your understanding.
Yours Sincerely,
MRS VICKY TAYLOR.
