Subject: FROM: FELIX TAYLOR
FROM: FELIX TAYLOR
MONROVIA LIBERIA
EMAIL: felixtaylor@caramail.com

Dear Sir/Madam
Forgive me if this letter comes to you as a surprise due to the fact that we
do not know each other in person. I got your address from the South African
Chambers of Commerce through a reliable source I am FELIX TAYLOR; the
younger brother of to the Ex. President of LIBERIA CHARLES TAYLOR, the Ex.
President TAYLOR is being step down as the president of Liberia. He has
resigned and seek asylum in Nigeria country due to pressures mounted on him
by the international community especially the UNITED STATE OF AMERICA. My
Brother has resign as president in order to give peace a chance in our
country Liberia.
CHARLES TAYLOR has been a freedom fighter that fought all his life for the
well being of Liberians. But due to the multi tribal nature of our country,
REBELS From the enemy tribes have fought the ruling government of CHARLES
TAYLOR, to the point where it has become impossible to maintain peace and
tranquility. Presently we want to have some more time to relocate our wealth
from Liberia to other foreign countries, where we can secretly invest our
wealth profitably and peacefully. As of now, the president is now in NIGERIA
where he is on asylum, the rest of our family including my three brothers
and wife and children have left Liberia to seek refuge in foreign countries
where they can have security and peace of mind. I am currently living in
South Africa where I am living in asylum as a political refugee.
This is why I am writing you. On my arrival to South Africa, I come with the
sum of US$18,000,000,00 (EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). This money
was given to me by Ex. PRESIDENT TAYLOR to buy military arms and ammunitions
from South African allies. These ammunitions were meant to be used to
curtail the insurgence of rebel forces into the capital city of Monrovia.
Ex. president Taylor therefore instructed me to find a reliable partner that
will assist me to transfer this money to a foreign account for my personal
use. Currently the money is deposited in a private security company here in
South Africa as classified consignment. And the security company does not
know the real contents of this consignment. I simply deposited the money as
diplomatic valuables to avoid the security company from interfering with the
money. I shall want you to help me transfer this money overseas.
I will appreciate if you can provide me with a bank account in a stable bank
where we can transfer this money. I shall also want you to assist me in
investing this money in any profitable venture for the future of my family.
I am fed up of the disorganization and political instability of this
CONTINENT thus I shall want to relocate my fund and my family to an oversea
country where peace, security, political stability as well as financial
consistency are all guaranteed.
You will be given a commission for your assistance and other details of this
transactions will be discussed when I receive your reply indicating your
interest and readiness to assist me. I must also assure you that this
transaction is totally legal and bears no risk whatsoever now or in the
future.
I have all the documents covering this money which I can send you if you
desire. My family friends in the government and banking sectors here in
South Africa will also help to make this transfer successful within the
shortest time in the most legal way. They have assured me of their support.
ALL I ASK FROM YOU ARE TRUST AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
You are therefore to contact me immediately with the contact details
provided above to discuss further details regarding this transaction. Thanks
as I look forward to immediate response.
Yours Sincerely
FELIX TAYLOR
