Subject: From Rev Joseph Read And Reply
Dear Beloved,
l know that this correspondent will come to you as a surprise Taking into
Consideration that we have not met before or had any previous dealings,
although it's with good motive.My name is Rev. Joseph Buba, an International
Missionary based in Liberia.l am now in the Refugee Camp,In Nigeria ,Western
part of Africa. A few year's ago I was in Liberia where I had established a
little congregation where I preached regularly, but the civil war escalated
and the church was converted to a hospital of sought. On one faithfull day
three Liberian Soldiers,whom l later learnth were special aids to the
Liberian former President (Late Samuel Doe) came to me and left one trunk
box containing money with me and swore to come back for it. But you guessed
it, they never did because,they were among those who were captured and
killed by one of the Liberian Rebels then,Charles Taylor,who later became
the president,but now in Political Asylum in Nigeria. After this incident,l
was left with the box containing about $5 Million Dollars(Five Million
United States Dollars) Because of the risk of keeping the said box on my
pocession due to the in-security in my temporary Church/Hospital,l decided
to deposite the aid box with a security Finance Firm,which has it's branches
in many parts of Europe,Asia,America and Africa. Over years after this urgly
incident,l had tried all l could to locate either the address of the slain
Soldiers or any members of their immediate families,but all to no avail. Now
because l was among those who were evercuated from Liberia recently due to
another round of war between the last President,Charles Taylor and other
Liberian Rebels,who were battling to take over power from him.l am now
writing to request for your assistance based on your willingness to accept
my wish and conditions on which l want to use this said amount for. Because
of the natures of my profession (Missionary) l will not be able to stand to
claim this Fund for my personal use,as it will attract questions from my
followers who knew that l am only but a preacher,that is not supposed to be
identified with such amount of money. That is why l'm seeking for your
assistnace,so that you will stand as the owner of the Fund. All the
documents used in lodging the box/money in the security Company are all in
my pocessions.l will send them to you as soon as you show your willingness
to take part in this objective. l will only need 30% of the total sum, to
support my Missionary works. l want you to use part of the Money,(30%) to
support your business and family and the remaining 40% MUST be used for
charity,especially the ophans and widows within your Country and outside
Your Country. l pray the Almighty God will give you the courage to
accomplish this in good faith. If you think that you can be of use to this
humanity services.
Reply to me and forward to me your contact telephone and fax numbers. I
await for your response on this.
Yours Sincerely Rev. Joseph Buba
