Subject: HELLO,GOOD DAY
My Dear,
I regret any embarrassment that my letter might cause you, as we have not
met before physically or through correspondence before this time.
My name is MRS. JEWEL TAYLOR,wife of the immediate past Liberian Head of
State, MR. CHARLES TAYLOR. You must have heard over the media reports on our
political asylum as a result of outright and cheap blackmail that led to
loss of Power in Liberia. I got your contact in my search for a reliable and
trustworthy partner, who I can do business with. I would want to have good
confidence in you as I have found out that you are a good responsible
personality. I have no doubt about your capacity and goodwill to assist me
in receiving in to your custody (FOR SAFETY) the sum of Twelve Million US
Dollars( USD 12M). This money is currently kept with a Security and finance
Firm. The money was cleverly lodged and deposited with the help of our
family Lawyer.
Fortunately,our family lawyer had secretly protected this transaction from
the notice of the investigators and have strictly advised that the funds be
urgently move to oversea of any trust worthy but ANNONYMOUS foreign family
friend without delay for security reasons.Our entire local and international
business outfit is under serious surveillance by security agent. This money
is our only hope to stay alive. My family has therefore agreed to compensate
your good self with 20% of the total fund when you finally cleared the fund
from the security firm and lodge in your private account.
Be rest assured that every modality has been put in place for a smooth
execution? Due to current situation in our country,it has become quite
impossible for us to travel to any part of the world. I am contacting you as
a matter of urgency to help, represent my family in collecting the funds on
our behalf and assist in investing it for us in a viable business in your
country.If you are interested in assisting me to protect my family's
interest without having evil mind against or intension to take advantage of
this,For obvious security reasons, it's imperative that you keep all our
communications very confidential.
Do not mention my family's name or disclose the transaction with any
body.But if you are not interested in assisting me, still get in touch so
that I can make an alternative arrangement as time is of essence.Please do
not expose me.
I await your prompt response and also look forward to a mutually beneficial
relationship.For free conscience and better understanding within my family.
Please reply only throgh my private email:
Sincerely,
MRS. JEWEL TAYLOR
For the family.
