FROM MAJOR Smith
Good Day,
I am Major David Smith,a senior security officer
under charles Taylor,former Liberian President.Having
got great affection and absolute appreciation for your
human and personality,I wish to contact you for
absolute help to safeguard and bank this sum of
$16.1m(Sixteen Million One Hundred Thousand
Dollars)into your account for me,preferably we can
split the sum into three bank accounts if your account
will not accommodate all the sum.presently this money
is in the security vault in Europe.
I am a senior security officer in charge of arms and
ammunition of Charles Taylor troops.I and two
officers were assigned to purchase arms and ammunition
in france,on getting to Ghana,we heard a news that
U.S.A. government had given an ultimatum for our
president,Charles Taylor to leave the country for a
political asylum with immediate effect.
Perhaps,we saw this as a golden opportunities to
divert the funds $48.3 for our personal usage,then the
funds were shared among us $16.1m each.
The arrangement of sharing this money is as a result
of helping ourselves and family since our president
has been sent out by U.S government on political
asylum in Nigeria.The future of my family depends on
this fund and as much as i will be very grateful if
you can assist me to bank this fund.
Note:I don't want the leadership of president Charles
Taylor to have idea of where i am and the fund.When
this fund is cleared and banked in your nominated
account,i will meet with you to establish an
investment with your assistance . i am presently on
political assylum in Pretoria South Africa, and my
present status does not allow me to make a trip out of
my present jurisdiction
For your reward and expected sevices 40% will be for
you,while 60% will be for my family investment.
For now, you can contact me through this email
address.once we establish good contact i shall then
give to you my telephone number and also give you
information on how to claim the funds.
May happy days & a fair future awaits you as you
deserve.
