FROM WILLIAMS ABBAS.
Dear Friend.
I am Williams Abbas a Public Servant based in Accra, Ghana. Your
contact was got through a diplomatic random search.
I have been contracted secretly by the Family of the deposed leader of
Liberia, Charles Ghankay Taylor, who is currently in detention in
Sierra-Leone facing trial on alleged war crimes. I was contracted to seek foreign participation in a deal that involves the movement of USD35 Million owned by the former President. The money was secured by him while in power long before he was asked to step down by the America Government and the International Community. Now this money has been mapped out for investment purposes in your company or your country.
Since the family of this former President cannot envisage the outcome
of his trial, the family in desperation to secure a safe haven for this
fund, has moved this fund out to Ghana and it is currently on the
custody of a safe deposit company. All the money are in hundred dollar bill.
The incarceration of Charles G Taylor in Sierra-Leone is just too much
for his family to handle and they fear that he may not get fair hearing
from the International Court .They fear for the life of the former
President, and this informed their decision to have the funds moved to
Ghana. Ghana as you know is very peaceful in the sub region.
I am seeking your assistance to help this family have this fund moved
to your country for investment. You will be given 25% of the sum as your
commission, while 5% will be mapped out for expenses to be incurred in
the process of transfer. All you need do is to fly down to Ghana, see
the money and talk about it. All documentation to be changed in your
name to shield identity of true ownership.
This business is totally risk free on your part. Answer back to me as
soon as possible. Treat this confidentially and with a level of secrecy.
I trust you and we can accomplish this peacefully.
Yours Respectfully
Williams Abbas
