Subject: PROPOSAL
DEAR Sir/Madam,
I am mr William collins,the former presidential aid to liberia former
president charles ghanky taylor.. Following the exit of president Charles
Taylor of Liberia from power under a West African brokered peace agreement,
led by Nigerian former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he was granted
political assylum by the Nigerian Government before the (EU) and the
american government ask him to go back and face his war crime charges . In
my position as the presidential aid to the former President and close
confidant, I left for Nigeria on his Entourage.
My country has then been engulfed in Protracted Civil war with rebels
controlling some parts of the country. During the war, President Taylor
disbursed large sums of Money to buy the loyalty of the entire cabinet, and
I can say with all modesty that I was one of the Chief Beneficiaries of
this disbursement.
Since we relocated to Calabar, Southern Nigeria, all has been well until
the indictment and arrest of the former President Taylor by the world court
tribunal sitting in Sierra Leone and having been arrested and moved to
haque (neitherland) where he is currentely been detained to face war crime
charges and genocide.I have relocated to malaysian . A total sum of
$50,000,000. (Fifty Million US Dollars) was kept in a security vault by me
with the help of a diplomat, Now I intend to move to oversea for investment
and spend the rest of my life there with my family.This is where i need your
involvement in helping me to transfer the money in to your personal account.
This transaction is risk-free as all arrangement has been made.
If you are prepared to assist to work with me, I require the following:
Your Full Name and Address, Your Private Telephone, Fax Number and private
Email Address. As Compensation for your assistance you will retain 40% of
the Total sum, While 5% will be mapped out for local and International
expenses.
Though we are not known to each other, I strongly believe that through this
transaction we would be able to forge a mutually beneficial relationship
between us, now and in the future.
Finally, the success of this transaction will depend to a great extent on
mutual trust, secrecy and confidentiality from you.
I await your response by E-mail:
Best Regards,
Mr William collins.
