Subject: i need your help and assistance
Please reply to:
jeweltaylor5@3xl.net
My Dear,
With all sincerity and humility it is with deep pains i write you this
message of wishful assistance to my predicament. I am Mrs Jewel Taylor
the
estranged wife to the former president of Liberia who was asked by
unanimous decision by the international community to step down from the
corridors of power due to his illicit involvement in the in-humane
tyranny
in the war torn country.
I write you this mail under duress and as a result of my recent
decision to better the lives of i and my children. I have made a
decision which i know might not be good in the sight of man but the
present situation has led me to this decision to better the lives of my
children. Currently now i have decided to make do with the sum of $20m
(Twenty Million United States Dollars) in which i am a benefiaciary to,
and have decided to relocate with your assistance to your private
account
the said sum.
My decision was reached when i could not conceive the thought that
after the United States Government has promised to let my husband go
free
based on the condition that he should step down Mr. Collin Powell
stated
in a press briefing that he would be indicted by the court in
Netherlands
to face charges on war crimes, this is what led to my decision as God
Knows that i was never in support of his involvement in the indecent
maltreating of innocent people.
This decision is hard for me to make but i just have to make it for the
sake of my children's future.
Currently the said sum was lodged in a safety deposit box in a
financial Institution which i will disclose to you as a matter of
commitment to me and this plea for assistance. I currently have the
deposit certificate and can draw up a change of beneficiary mandate to
effect you as the beneficiary to the funds. I am a trained economist by
profession and it is in this line that i will want you to take note
that
your services for assisting me will be compensated to the best of my
ability.
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission?
If you can sponsor this transfer. Consider this and get back to me as
soon
as possible with the following.
1.Your full name
2.Your full address
3.Your age/occupation
4.Your direct phone/fax numbers for easy communication
I have this to look forward to so i would like you to keep this
project close to your heart just as myself pending when we reach the
conclusive end of this project. I will want you as a matter of
confidentiality to respond through this mail and also include your
telephone number as well so that i can give you a call if the need
arises as we are currently on political asylum now in West Africa. Once
i
get your confirmation that you can be of assistance i will bring you
into
a clearer picture of the situation at hand.

I remain Yours Truly,
Mrs Jewel Taylor
