HELLO DEAR,
I AM WRITING THIS EMAIL TO YOU WITH DUE RESPECT AND EQUALLY WITH HEART FULL
OF TEARS AND SORROWS SINCE WE HAVE NOT KNOWN OR MET OURSELVES BEFORE. PLEASE
I MEAN NO HARM TO YOU ONLY THAT I AM IN A DESPERATE SITUATION AND NEED
URGENT ASSISTANCE.
AFTER YOU MIGHT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS MAIL, I WANT IT TO BE YOUR
DECISION EITHER TO HELP ME OR TO LEAVE ME TO YOUR FAITH, BUT WHATEVER YOU
DECIDE, BEAR IN MIND THAT I AM DEEPLY IN TROUBLE HERE AND NEED YOUR HELP. I
AM ASKING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE BECAUSE I BELIEVE YOU ARE A HIGHLY RESPECTED
PERSONALITY CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I SOURCED OUT YOUR INFORMATION PROFILE
FROM A HUMAN RESOURCE PROFILE DATABASE ON YOUR COUNTRY IN THE INTERNET FROM
THE SOUTH AFRICAN INFORMATION NETWORK ONLINE(SAINO) WHICH SPEAKS GOOD OF
YOU.
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 AND EURO-NEWS BILLETINS.
I WILL BE SO GLAD IF YOU CAN ALLOW AND LEAD ME TO THE RIGHT CHANNEL TOWARDS
YOUR ASSISTANCE TO MY SITUATION. I WILL MAKE MY PROPOSAL WELL KNOWN TO YOU
IF I'M GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO, FOR THE SAKE OF INTRODUCTION,
I WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU.
ANYWAY, I AM MISS TAYE MOHAMMAD, 21 YEARS OF AGE AND THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF
MY LATE FATHER DR. ABEL MOHAMMAD, MY FATHER IS LATE,MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST
IN PERFECT PEACE, HE DIED DURING THE LAST POLITICAL CRISIS IN MY COUNTRY
(LIBERIA) IN THE WESTERN PART OF AFRICA. MY LATE FATHER WAS DEPUTY MINISTER
OF PUBLIC WORKS IN THE
ADMINISTRATION OF OUR FORMER PRESIDENT CHARLES TAYLOR WHO IS NOW IN EXILE
AFTER KILLING MANY INNOCENT SOULS.MY FATHER WAS AN INFLUENTIAL MEMBER OF THE
CABINET IN THE CHARLES TAYLOR REGIME AND MY FATHER WAS FALSELY ACCUSED OF
PLOTTING TO REMOVE PRESIDENT CHARLES TAYLOR OUT FROM OFFICE WHICH HE NEVER
DID AND WITHOUT TRIAL CHARLES TAYLOR CONVICTED KILLED HIM WITH SOME OTHER
TOP GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OF HIS CABINET.
BUT BEFORE HE WAS KILLED, HE MOVED AND TRANSFERED THE SUM OF
(USD$10,500,000.00) TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
TO ONE FINANCE COMPANY IN HOLLAND (EUROPE), SO THE MAIN REASON WHY I AM
CONTACTING YOU NOW IS TO SEEK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THE AREA OF PROVIDING
YOUR FOREIGN ACCOUNT AS MY FOREIGN PARTNER TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS AND ALSO
ASSIST ME FOR MY FUTURE INVESTMENT PLAN,MY LATE FATHER MADE ME THE SOLE
BENEFICIARY OF THE FUND SO AS YOU CAN SEE I AM STILL VERY YOUNG AND UNDER A
LOT OF PRESSURE NOW TO HANDLE SUCH INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION.
MOST IMPORTANTLY NOW IS THAT I HAVE ESCAPED AND FLED LIBERIA TO SENEGAL
WHERE I AM CURRENTLY UNDER ASYLUM SEEKER AND I AM REALLY SUFFERING TOO MUCH
HERE, PLEASE HELP ME TO CLAIM THE
FUND AND ASSIST ME TO COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR CONTINUATION OF MY
EDUCATION AND INVESTMENT DISCUSSION REGARDING THE FUND CLAIMED.
PLEASE I AM ASKING YOU TO STAND ON MY BEHALF TO MAKE THE CLAIM,TO
STAND AS MY OVERSEA PARTNER AND IN THE TIME OF INVESTMENT AS WELL, BECAUSE
EVERY DOCUMENTS BACKING UP THE FUND ARE ALL IN SAFE CUSTODY AND WILL BE
FORWARDED TO YOU UPON YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO ASSIST ME FULLY IN CLAIMING THE
FUND AS PARTNERS. ALL THAT I NEEDED NOW IS TO GET A RELIABLE,GENUINE AND
CAPABLE PERSON THAT WILL ASSIST ME GET THE MONEY TRANSFERED TO HIS OVERSEA
ACCOUNT FOR INVESTMENT TO AVOID TOO MUCH QUERIES FROM ALL RESPONSIBLE
QUARTERS AND I KNOW NOW THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHT PERSON WHOM I HAVE BEEN
PRAYING FOR GOD ALMIGHTY TO PROVIDE FOR ME.

ISSUE AS REGARDS TO YOUR PERCENTAGE TO BE WELL KNOWN TO YOU IF ONLY YOU GIVE
