Dear Friend
I am pastor. Simion George, a revolutionalist / human
right activist , I formerly served under SOS children
welfare organaisation , an NGO for less privellaged
in Liberia during the regime of former ousted
terrorist
, President Charles Taylor.
When I was formerly serving in Liberian , during the
outbreak of the recent war by the rebels, about US$
18.5 million was carefully moved outside the country
in
collaboration by my late boss , Mr Johnson S. Boiley
who was then the general oversea of this non
governmental
Organisation . Some of us were arrested, detained and
properties worth millions of dollars were confiscated
/ destroyed during the crisis.
For safe keeping, this fund has been in custody of a
Security / finance firm in Accra Ghana where it was
secretly deposited by my late boss before his
death.Because of my position in the subregion I can't
lay claims on the fund directly and that is why I
want you to stand as the beneficiary to the fund.I
will provide you all the necessary documents and the
one we do not have will be provided through a lawyer
here ,I have started negotiations on how to transfer /
move the said funds to abroad for own benefit .After
the
transaction you are entitle of 30% ,while I will
entitle 0f 65% and the remaining 5% is for any
expenses incure in the course of this transaction.
I and my loved family are now living in Accra Ghana
as refugees since the outbreak of the rebellion war in
my country .It is my humble pleasure knowing you and
more
especially to transact a jointly investment with you
in your country , in this case any proposed business
of your choice
will be considered and moreover I will like to surport
in the
work of God with sum of the fund the way I could
as well as helping the less previlage people. I will
accept whole heartedly and willing to provide these
funds to move
ahead and will appreciate your interest to work with
me as
partner, in trust , understanding and in confident
