Subject: Dear Friend,
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: jewtaylor345@yahoo.com
Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Jewel Howard-Taylor, wife of Charles Ghankay Taylor, former President of the Republic of Liberia. I
apologize if I have infringed on your privacy as I got your e-mail address from a website. I sincerely seek
your confidence in this transaction as I view you to be of a very pleasant personality.
It may interest you to know that my Husband has been fighting serious civil war with the Liberia United for
the Restoration of Democracy (LURDS) for quite some years now. The "LURDS" which has the support of some
foreign powerful countries, has been engaging in serious human rights abuses, killing and maiming
innocent citizens of Liberia. Consequently, the American government ordered My husband to leave
Liberia or be forced out of power in order to allow peace to reign in our country, their intervention came
in as a result of our historical affiliations with the US.
Aware of America's capabilities and what happened to Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Mullah Omar of Afghanistan,
while we were sleeping together, I woke him up and advised him on the need for us to adhere to these
warnings before it is too late and decided on the 11th of August 2003 to go into exile in a neighboring
country Nigeria, we sought for asylum and was granted by that country's President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
We are presently in a city called Calabar, Cross River State of Nigeria. A new government headed by the Vice
President Mr. Moses Blah has been sworn in. Consequently, as a result of the increasing rebel
hostility, gross human right violations and atrocities committed by these rebel insurgence in my country,The
various foreign bank accounts of my husband have already been frozen and others under serious
investigation on the flimsy excuse of war crimes, which is just an allegations. Due to the current
situation of things in my country today and the Attack on my husband by various governments and the rebels,
we are closely monitored and he cannot talk to you now more so to abide by the rules of the asylum in which
we are.
In the light of all these sad happenings, my husband,through the help of his loyalists has secretly moved
the sum of US$10.3Million to a private security company vault Europe, I will divulge the details on
how to get the funds if you indicate interest in assisting me and right now, my husband wants the
services of a highly reliable foreigner that will receive the funds into his/her bank account for the
future survival of my family because he cannot presently operate any foreign bank account on his
name. We need a foreigner whom we will portray as the bona-fide owner of the consignment to prevent the
government from finding out that the consignment belongs to the former President Taylor, this will not
only bridge our asylum terms with Nigeria and the funds confiscated but may lead to our extradition
which we seriously abhor due to his failing health.These funds Twenty-eight Million three hundred United States
Dollars(US$28.3m) arose from various compensation he received from the sales of rubber, timber and diamonds, which are,
abound in great quantities around the coastal areas of the country. My husband and I have decided that if you
are able to assist us, you shall be compensated with 20% commission of the funds, my family will make do
with the remaining 80%. It might also interest you to note that all security arrangements regarding this
transaction have been put in place to ensure a hitch free transaction.
Most part of this the percentage for my family will be invested in your country, courtesy of your full advice
and assistance because that is the most important part of this transaction.
As you indicate interest to assist my family, I will be expecting to receive your kind and urgent response
through this more confidential email address.I urge you to please keep this transaction very
confidential, as I am expecting your urgent reply, however if you are not interested to assist us, you
let me know urgently to enable me contact another willing partner.
Regards,
Mrs. Jewel Howard Taylor.
