FROM THE DESK OF
MRS. SUSANE NUHANVEYE
E-MAIL: mrs_susane2005@yahoo.it


ATTN:Sir/Madam

Kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you.
I believe you are a highly respected personality, considering
the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile
database in 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.SUSANE NUHAN VEYE 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 your
country. You can also check in some of the international newspapers
posted in the web sites below:

(i) http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm
(ii)http://www.unwire.org

Before my husband was killed, he moved out the sum of
$21.5million(twenty-one million five hundred thousand u.s dollars)
through a diplomatic means, and deposited it with a
Security Company overseas. All that is needed is for my lawyer to
instruct the company to transfer the funds to your account, I will
renumerate you with 20% at the end, but most of all is that I solicit
your trust inthis transaction.I have been confined only to our country
home and all my calls are monitored.
Please I will advise you to contact me on my private
email address stated below: mrs_susane2005@yahoo.it

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

THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU.
Mrs Susane Nuhanveye.
