I am Williams Kayode A former government official of Liberia. Following
the exit of president Charles Taylor of Liberia from power under a West
African brokered peace agreement, led by Nigerian President Olusegun
Obasanjo he was granted asylum by the Nigerian Government. In my
position
as the Financial Secretary to the President and close confidant, I left
for Nigeria in his Entourage.
My country has been engulfed in Protracted Civil war with rebels
controlling some parts of the country. During the war, President Taylor
disbursed large sums of Monies to buy the loyalty of the entire
cabinet,and
I can say with all modesty that I was one of the Chief Beneficiaries of
this disbursement.
This is aside from monies I used my official position to acquire while
in office. Since we relocated to Calabar, Southern Nigeria all has been
well, but with the recent indictment of former President Taylor by the
war crime tribunal sitting in Sierra Leone and confirmed reports of a
dedicated fund by the American Government to capture him in order to
face war crime charges have now decided to leave the country. Presently
I
have funds totaling United State $20,000,000. (twenty Million US
Dollars) Which I intend to move oversea for investment and spend the
rest of
my life there with my family.
This transaction is risk-free as all local arrangement has been made.
If you are prepared to assist to work with me I require the following:
Your Full Name and Address, Your Private Telephone, Fax Number and
private Email Address. As Compensation for your assistance you will
retain
15% of the Total sum, While 5% will be mapped out for local and
International expenses.
Though we are not known to each other, I strongly believe that
through
this transaction we would be able to forge a mutually beneficial
relationship between us, now and in the future.
Finally, the success of this transaction will depend to a great extent
on mutual trust, secrecy and Confidentiality from you.
Best Regards,
Williams Kayode.
