that was coming on his way. This money was deposited in a
metal sealed boxes as consignments labeled '`FAMILY TREASURE` with the
security company.
My only son, JOHN KELLY TAYLOR and I have met and agreed after consulting
financial expert who humbly advised us that the best way to realize and
safeguard this fund without British Authority being after the money or to
the knowledge of the current Liberia government who had tactically frozen my
Family`s assets,hence the need to involve a foreigner.
My HUSBAND was arrested in Nigeria/Cameroon border when he was running for
his dear life as the whole world has communicated through BBC, CNN that the
former President of Liberia has been arrested and he is currently facing
trial in NETHERLANDS because of
the War crises in my Country. My reason of contacting you is based on the
above stated fact: I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine
foreign account where the money could be transferred upon redeemed from the
security company.
I want this fund to be moved to a safe country where people will not know
us and for good investment.Please, if you are interested in helping
my family to secure this money morally and financially, we will give to you
20% of the total sum, 70% will be for my family's investment in your country

might be Incurred during the process of this transaction.
