Subject: Mail from David Williams
Dear.
It is my pleasure to write this mail to you and to say thanks for your
effort in providing an opportunity to read my mail. I got your contact when
i was making some searches in the internet. My name is David, a Liberian. I
'm the son of Solomon Williams who was the chief army officer to my country
Liberia. I am contacting you to seek your co-operation in investing
$USD12.8M in your company or your country,s economy.
My Father made this money when he was on sit as the commander and chief
army officer while Charles Taylor is the president of Liberia. Due to some
religious and political problems , my Father was hijacked and brutally
assasainated by the rebel leathers in Liberia. It is worthy to note that
during my father's life time he used his position as a former chief aid for
must have made this money in question. This money was realised from the
sales of gold and diamond which are the country's major resources and
sources of income. And before his death; my Father was able to send this
money via a Ghanian diplomatic contact to the country where it is currently
secured with a security company as a FAMILY TREASURE and my name was used
as the next of kins in view of my Father's position as an insider in the
government.
And it was my Father's refusal to realease the money to former President
Charles Taylor that resulted in the killing in February 2003.
Now, that me and my younger Sister have passed through the mourning ordeal
for my father I am thinking and planning the next step to take with respect
to how and where to invest the money. So our aim of sending this mail to
you is to solicit your assistance in transfering this money to your country
where it could be invested in a viable business for our mutual benefit. I am
ready to enter into a joint venture with your company or we can open a new
company with the money because i'm sure the money inside the box can
establish a company of any type.
I want to assure you that you will be highly rewarded for your assistance
both in cash or in the joint venture. Please reply to this mail, indicating
your ability to handle this transaction so that i will give you details to
enable us map out strategies for the implementation of this project.
Best regards,
David Williams
