MONROVIA - LIBERIA.

Dear Friend

Kindly accept my apology for sending my mail to you. Although I know that due to how some people go
about deceiving good/kind citizens like you, no one seems to trust it's fellow human beign again in this
life that we are living in.

Am a true Christian, and I want you to trust me and help me out in this my conditoion. I believe you are a
highly respected personality, considering the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile
database on your country. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and fragile
political situation in Liberia but it has formed consistent headlines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins.

My name is MRS. SUZANA VAYE from Liberia, a Country in West Africa. My Husband is Issac Nuhan
Vaye, Deputy Minister of Public Works,Liberia. My
Husband was falsely accused of plotting to remove the then PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA CHARLES
TAYLOR) from office. Without trial, Charles Taylor killed him.You can verify this from yourcountry. You
can also check in some of the international newspapers posted in the web sites below:

(ii) http://www.unwire.org/UNWire/20030716/449_66 21.asp


Before my husband was killed, he moved out the sum of $6.5 million and large quantities of Diamonds
through a diplomatic means, and deposited it with a Security Company Abroad. All that is needed is for
my lawyer to instruct the company to transfer the funds/diamonds to your account, I will renumerate you
with 20% at the end, but most of all is that I solicit your trust in this transaction.

I have been confined only to our country home and all my calls are monitored, So I will advise you
contact my private Attorney on his contact stated below for onward proceedings:-

ATTORNEY'S NAME: LOPEZ ALVARES
EMAIL: alvaresassociates@lawyer.com

Kindly include your private telephone and fax numbers where you can always be reached,your residential
or company address to enable him send detail information/documents to you.
