Dearest Valued Friend,
It is with deep sense of honour and respect that I humbly make this appeal to you with the understanding that any fact/s or opinion/s expressed in this letter are given in confidence and solely for your personal information and use. .If it does not interest you ,discard the mail but if it makes sense to you, I open my arms wide to do business with you
Details OF THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
During the regime of President Charles Taylor in Liberia, I was the special adviser to the President on Minerals and Allied matters. Also, I was made the chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Sales and Exportation of Diamonds and other Gem Stones, which are the major mineral deposits in Liberia.
The above positions availed me the opportunity to divert some fund, which was deposited with a private security vault firm. This I did due to the instability in Liberia during the regime of Charles Taylor, in order to safeguard my future and the future of my entire family. You may be aware of the protracted civil war in Liberia. The political uncertainty is very unfriendly. The government of Charles Taylor, under which I served, had been discredited by the western world, especially the United States who forcefully removed the President and his cabinet and sent them to exile. This is the reason why I am in asylum in the Republic of South Africa being a top member of Charles Taylor’s cabinet. Thank God, the intention for which I diverted the fund was instantly justified at the inception of a new transition government. All the members of the former regime, including myself, were put under probe. Our assets were confiscated. All traceable bank accounts, both in Liberia and overseas, were frozen, pending th e findings of the probe committee or probable pardon by the new regime. My only fund that could not be traced is the fund I diverted to the private security vault company. The deposit was made in the form of “Concealed Lodgment” and the deposit Manifest was made as Diamonds and Family treasures. The only person that is aware of this deposit is my personal lawyer, who I can trust, and you, who I have just told in utmost confidence. Please, let it be so and may God help us.
The amount in question is USD$10 Million (Ten Million United States Dollars). This is the fund I want to invest, through a honest and trusted ally, in any good business in any country outside my country and possibly the continent of Africa. This necessitated my search for a competent and reliable person who will oversee the investment on the basis of a joint venture partnership for our mutual benefit. My initial idea was to invest this fund in real estate business. But your choice of any other business either in your country in any other country other than my country Liberia and Africa will be appreciated. The details of the partnership terms will be drafted by my lawyer on confirmation of your willingness to assist in this venture. Also, a meeting could be arranged between you and my lawyer who is based here or even myself. This will enable us sign a Memorandum Of Understanding before the fund will be transferred from the security vault company to your custody.
The transaction, although discrete, is legitimate and there is no risk or legal lliability either on your part or myself now or in the future as I have put in place the neccesary machinery that will ensure a hitch free transfer of the fund into your account upon confirmation of your willingness to help.
I look forward to your prompt response as I wish to move this fund out of the vault company due to high cost of deposit contract renewal.
Regards.
