I am CHARLES TAYLOR, the Former President of Liberia.
As you may be aware that the President Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo (GCFR) has granted me asylum in Nigeria and

Nigeria.
Please I have what I will call my family last hope
money of $28,000,000M TO TRANSFER to any foreign
trusted person who will help me to invest this fund
into any good business, As I can no longer have any
other means of livelihood.
Please if you are interested in helping me to received
this fund. Please indicate on my private email address: honctailor@yahoo.com.
As after successful transfer into your bank account, 20% of the total fund
will go to you. My
son will come to your country to start up a business
with your assistance so that we can be able to live
again.
This fund is deposited as a family treasury before leaving for
Calabar in Nigeria. I told them that the fund belongs
to my friend and that I will inform my friend to apply
for the collection of the fund since we are not allowed
to be attending to visitors in Nigeria.
So please I will advise you to apply as the owner of
this fund. So that as soon as this fund is transfer into your bank account.
You will arrange for the coming of my son to
your country for proper investment. There is no risk
in this as you are aware that our family is now free
since we left Liberia to Nigeria peacefully.
God bless you as you help my family.
Yours sincerely,
CHARLES TAYLOR
Former President of Liberia.
