Subject: mutual

Friend,

I am Jewel Taylor,the wife of the deposed President of
Liberia, Fomer African colony of the United states Of
America.I write you this proposal based on the fact
that I need your aid to relocate to a safe haven my
husbands personal funds and effects namely 2kg weight
of Diamond stones and 14 gold bars with $20 Million
USD,all deposited in a safety deposit box in a
Security & Financial Institution which will be later
disclosed to you upon your offer of acceptance.

The lives of myself and my children are at risk ever
since my husband engaged himself in this rebel of a
thing in my country which later saw him as the
president of my country.We have currently been offered
political assylum in the Federal Republic Of Nigeria
by its President,Olusegun Obasanjo,which will confine
us to its shores for the rest of our lives.I have been
guaranted safety by the United states Government and
that of the Nigerian Government by a meeting held with
both Presidents,President George Bush Of the united
States and that of the Nigerian President on the 10th
of July 2003 at the just concluded Leon Sullivan
Summit held In Nigeria.

What you may hear of my husband should you decide to
verify may not be of a good report but he has learnt
his lesson the hard way and what I do now is for the
sake of my two daughters and son whom I pray to God in
order not for them to suffer for the sins of their
Father.I am prepared and willing to consider your
price for aiding me in this matter and will welcome
your conditions to the best of my abilities.

Upon the receipt of your response,I will introduce you
to a lawyer who will facilitate and conclude this
mutual project with you.Looking forward to your prompt
response.

Yours Sincerely,

Jewel Taylor.
