Subject: Dear Friend,

With due respect, I observe every protocols and pay all due compliments. As you may already know my name is Mark Taylor, one of the sons of Charles Taylor former president of the Republic of Liberia.

You may also be aware that my father is presently facing a jail term in UK for charges boarding on crimes committed by various factions during the protracted civil war in my country Liberia

For reasons that are sufficiently obvious, my mother and I have been leaving in exile as refugees ever since my father was ousted from power and subsequently arrested and taken to the Hague to face those frivolous charges. Currently, I leave in the USA and have been on the look-out for worthy humanitarian on whom we can repose some trust and confidence. So when we were given your compliment, we resolved to give it a trial.

The only possession left for my mother and I is the sum of forty five million US dollars for which we have been seeking a trustee into whose custody we can transfer same for viable investment. We are willing to part with 15% of this fund to you as personal gratuity if you agree to help out. You will have to use your vast business experience to determine areas of investment.

If this offer and conditions are accepted by you please indicate soonest and my mother and I can get a lawyer to draft a memorandum of understanding immediately to precede the transfer of the fund to you.

Your kind and honest response will be highly appreciated. This matter is treated with utmost secrecy and confidentiality for obvious reasons.

You can reach me on this number +1-940-238-4852 for more discussion.

Best regards.

Mark C. Taylor
