Subject: FROM Benjamin Taylor :

Attn :

Greetings.Firstly, I got your contact in my search for reliable personalities
on the internet .I am Benjamin Taylor,31, Liberian , a nephew to former
warlord of Liberia , former President Charles Taylor.During my uncles reign
in power as the head of government in my country,I was running errands directly
for him .

I was able to deposit monies, treasures, valuables for him in different
destinations and locations but at the peak of his reign, he discharged 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, Charles
Taylor for perusal to Chuky his first son.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 .

The purpose of my writting you is that I have deposited 6.8 million USD
and 25 kilogrammes of Gold dust with a security company here in Cote d'ivoire
sometime in 2001 .The political situation here at the moment is making me
to think alternatively to relocate the funds to a safe haven into a reliable
account abroad and therefore need a front to do this . 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 and finally obtain
a residential permit for me . I have all relevant documents for proofs
and I am ready to offer 10% of the total funds for your assistance.

Finally I implore you to treat this transaction with confidentiality and
thank you in anticipation.please CALL ME ON +225-079-15472 and you can also
reply to my alternative email address : bjtaylor999@yahoo.fr

Sincerely,

Benjamin Taylor
