From: deji_sasegbon@tiscali.co.uk
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 08:54:17 +0100
Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL

I am Barrister Deji Sasegbon, the personal counsel to the Ex-PRESIDENT,
CHARLES TAYLOR OF FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. First, I must solicit your
strictest
confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being
confidential and top secret.

I must apologize for taking some of your valuable time to explain a
proposal that I believe will be of utmost benefit to both of us. I am
consulting you on behalf of my client and friend Ex-PRESIDENT,
CHARLES TAYLOR OF LIBERIA. Who deposited huge sum of money
amounting to USD$35,000,000.00 (Thirty-five million United States
Dollars) with a security company in EUROPE which was intended for the
purchase of war equipment, but due to the fact that we are currently in
ASYLUM in NIGERIA he requested that I urgently look for a foreign
partner, who could help us immediately claim and invest this funds, as
the western world most especially the United States of America is
demanding that my Client should be tried at the international war crime
tribunal in HAGUES.

And looking back to what happened to PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC OF
YUGOSLAVIA, who has been facing charges in war crime tribunal in HAGUE
over years. These facts you can confirm from the LIBERIAN EMBASSY in
your country or you can request for BBC, CNN, and SKYNEWS, publications
for further proof.

I am soliciting your assistance in taking over the ownership of the
funds in your name and invest it on behalf of my Client who shall be a
partner (UNDER ANONMITY) in whatever business venture you intend
invest, because of the hunt by international community to freeze my
client's bank accounts and confiscate his assets. We
are willing to compensate you with a satisfactory percentage of the
money for your cooperation and assistance in this regard.

This money was kept and lodged securely under a default identity
for the time being, it is safe and undisclosed. I will need a straight
answer.
YES or NO. Contact me immediately, only if you are able and interested
in assisting. Kindly contact me preferably using my personal
email address (deji_sasegbon@yahoo.com) as soon as possible.

Thanks for your co-operation; I apologize for encroaching into your
privacy with this e-mail.

Yours sincerely,

DEJI SASEGBON
