Attn :
Greetings.I know it will be of utmost surprise to receive this unsolicited
mail from me and it is due to my present predicament that motivated me to
send it to you for your consideration.First and foremost I got your contact
in my search for reliable personalities on the internet and wish for your
favourable response.I am Benjamin Taylor,31, Liberian , a nephew to former
warlord of Liberia , my beloved country , former President Charles Taylor.During
my uncles rebellion and reign in power as the head of government in my country,I
was running errands directly for him and was like his personal assistant
and fudiciary agent.I was able to deposit monies,treasures,valuables for
him in different destinations and locations but during the peak of his reign,he
discharged me and represented me with his first son Chuky.I submitted all
relevant documents in relation to all what I have deposited worldwide for
my uncle,former President Charles Taylor for perusal to Chuky his first
son who by then has become my rival and very jealous .When the threat to
my life was getting enormous that I have siphoned some monies,I quickly
moved to this neighbouring country ,Cote d'ivoire to seek political assylum
and have since resided here for over three years.The purpose of my writting
you is that I have deposited 14.8 million USD(fourteen million and eight
hundred thousand American dollars) and 150 kilogrammes of Gold dust with
a security company here in Cote d'ivoire sometime in 2001 in Charles Taylor
name and left it there for the situation to calm down so that I start from
there.To my amazement,the political situation here at the moment is making
me to think alternatively to move the funds to a safe haven into a reliable
account abroad and therefore need a front to do this because I cannot be
the sender and at the same time the reciever in order not to raise any eyebrow
from any quarters. My aim of contacting you is to seek for your able assistance
as a front in transferring this fund abroad into an account , then as a
business developer , you can help me to invest wisely in areas you deem
lucrative and finally obtain a residential permit for me to stay comfortable
in your country of abode . I have all relevant documents for proofs and
I am ready to offer 10% of the total funds for your unalloyed support,absolute
cooperation and assistance. Finally I implore you to treat this transaction
with secrecy and confidentiality for security reasons and thank you in anticipation
and also wish for a rapid response.God bless.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Taylor
