1 ) - Confidential Business Proposal
Dear Friend,
I am contacting you courtesy of a random Internet search, where I
obtained your personal integrity and email address.
Though you do not know me, I am appealing to you for help and promise
to respect your hard earned reputation. As a
high level personality in your country, I deemed it right contacting
you for this my business proposal.
I am Mr. Martins Joseph, Chief Weapons Procurement Director, and
personal friend to President Charles Ghankay Taylor
of Liberia. I am however writing you from here in Monrovia, Liberia , a
West African Country. You must have been following
our crisis for some months now. Frankly speaking, I am of the support
for my boss to resign and allow some of us leave the
government house to have breath of freedom from his grip, but it is
becoming so difficult. Due to the kind of system we are
running here in the government house, it is aparently impossible to
resign as it could result to death if one is caught pulling
out of this our regime for now.
Following the war, we are losing the war, and I am a widower, having
lost my entire family of 5 including my wife in the
massacre recently on my effort to smuggle them out to Democratic
Republic of Congo another neigbouring country.
Most of the above is public knowledge anyway. Since their death, I
moved out a fortune, the last financial vote money
for the acquisition of medium range mortars and assorted
weapons/ammunitions was left intact in my custody, I declared it
among the things burnt in my house recently by opposition rebels, the
money was stored in a huge iron chest, I have moved
this money to a safer country. For security reasons, I have decided not
to move the money through Bank-to-Bank wire
transfer. In one of my trips to a country in europe, I deposited the
box in a security firm with plans to invest it abroad when
we leave power.
The unfortunate incident of 9/11 in America has made movement of huge
money by Bank-to-Bank transfer hazardous and
risky. I therefore cargoed the money through United Nations Peace
Keeping Force into Europe where I deposited it under
personal effect. I did it perfectly well and deposited it under the
tag of Personal Effects. It is also indicated as the same on
the certificate of deposit which was issued in my name that is with me.
I need your help to claim/receive the money as the beneificiary from
the security company in europe, I need you to act as
RECEIVER of the money (personal effect) It is simple, I will send
urgently to you the certificate of deposit issued in my name.
Right now the situation here in Liberia is very uncomfortable and I
cannot continue to wait because the intervention of other
government to force out my boss could lead to investigations and probes
for accountability. The good thing here is that I
declared this money burnt among several others of my properties,
therefore no trace can be found on the money.
I will travel to meet you in your Country, and discuss possible area of
investment as soon as peace returns to my country
Liberia hoping that the American President's internvention will work
soonest.
Repond to me urgently because there is no time to waste in going for
the claims hence I do not know our faith here in the
government house any minute from now. I will arm you with the
certificate of deposit with Power of Attorney which will be
presented by you at the time of receiving the box on my behalf.
Finally, I will like you to note that the amount involved is $65
Million Dollars and I plan to give to you as my temporary holder
of the money a good sum as compensation. We shall discuss further in
respect of that in future.
Looking forward to your urgent reply,
Mr. Martins Joseph.
