Subject: Hello Friend ! ! ! .
Dear Sir,
Obviously this is not the usual business you might have been used to but if you can take few moments to carefully read through this proposal, you’ll discover that after all it’s the end that justifies the means. I decided today to contact you with full personal responsibility under penalty of perjury that I am nephew and Special Assistant "A" to Former president of Republic of Liberia Mr. Charles Taylor. I know this offer will come to you as a surprise but it requires urgent action if you're interested.
The sum of Thirty-Two Million Dollars [US$32 Million] was flown in Presidential Jet to Accra city, Ghana and Deposited in a Security Trust Company in Ghana by me during the political Crisis in Monrovia, 2003. Few Months later, I had a serious disagreement with Mr. Taylor on 2
3/05 2003 when he decided to dump me by assigning my special duties to his Son, Chuckie. This issue resulted to several confrontations and 5 days later i realised that there's a plan to kill me but thank God for my colleagues who feigned my death after some hours of exchanged gun fire between his special forces and my supporters.
Since the deposit was made under personal Vault service, we use Code# instead of names and that was what Mr. Taylor wanted me to hand over to his Son which automatically would have robbed me off any benefits from him. I have been into hiding until now that I know it's safe to live again. Thus I decided to contact you and discuss the possibility of working together in co-operation to withdraw the deposit and invest it into profitable business in your Country.
Now both Mr. Taylor and his Son Chuckie are out of the way, the transaction is 100% Risk-free and I can guarantee that. I have other confidential information which I will send to you but I "MUST" first be very certain about your acceptance/involvement before I disclose further. I will inform you the name and contacts of the Security Trust Company including my contact phone numbers when I receive your reply in acceptance.
Thank you very much for your kind attention and look forward to future cooperation with you for our mutual benefits.
Please include in your reply the following information:
1. Your full names.
2. Your Age and Occupation.
2. Your permanent residential address.
3. Your direct office/Home/Private Phone & fax numbers.
Sincerely Yours,
Mike Lamin
