Subject: # Please work with me #
Hello,
I personally decided to put in writing as below, the full details of
the business proposal I have been trying to explain to you.
I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$13.5M, which I seek your
partnership in accommodating for me. I am willing to give out 25% of
this total sum to you for your quick assistance and partnership. However, I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction, which I propose to you as a TOP SECRET.
My name is Robert Bada, I am the personal assistance to the former
President of Republic of Liberia (President Charles Taylor). You most be aware that Charles Taylor has been fighting serious civil war with the Liberia United for the Restoration of Democracy (LURD) for quite some years now. And LURD were backed all along by some powerful foreign countries.
Not quite long ago, the American government ordered President Charles Taylor to leave Liberia or be forced out of power. Knowing fully well the capabilities of America and other powerful members of the United Nations, President Charles Taylor decided on the 11th of August 2003 to go into exile in a neighboring country Nigeria to seek asylum. For more information please read the BBC News on the matter.

Based on these developments, his various foreign bank accounts have
been frozen and some are still under serious investigation. But in the light of all these sad happenings, President Charles Taylor was able, through the help of some loyalist succeeded to secretly move the sum of US$13.5M, on my name as the owner to a private security company vault in Spain where the final crediting is expected to be carried out later. All the depositing documents of the above fund were on my name and they are still in my possession and right now I am in Ghana and not with him in Nigeria.
YOUR ROLE:
All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above quoted
sum and I will arrange for the documentation which will enable the Security Company transfer / wire the fund to you. I have decided to do this only with you and use this sum to relocate to European or American continent and never to be connected to any of President Charles Taylor’s conglomerates.
This transaction can be concluded in 2 weeks.
URGENT:
Your response is needed. PLEASE send your REPLY to the email address
above, I will also need your private and direct telephone and fax number for easy reach.
Please this is a very confidential matter, you don't disclose to anybody for us to have success. Please i need you to send me your telephone number so i can give you a call immediately for more information.
As soon as I get your positive response, I will send you my telephone number and further instructions on how we will conclude this transaction.
Best regard,
Mr. Robert Bada.
