STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
14/10/03
Attn:
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. chuckkey Taylor, a son to Charles Taylor, the embattled president
of Liberia[now former president, having handed over power to his deputy
on the 11th of August ,2003 due to pressures from the international community].
Following the withdrawal of recognition of my father's government by the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the subsequent indictment of my father by the
UNITED NATIONS WAR CRIME TRIBUNAL SITTING IN SIERRALEONE on the 2nd July,
2003
and our being granted the offer of asylum by the Nigerian government. I
write you for assistance having found myself and my family in difficult
situation not knowing what will become of us next in Nigeria.
You must realize that our arrival into Nigeria on the 11th of August was
met with cheers from the people of Nigeria though ,we still do not have
faith in any African country , hence we have decided to transfer this money
into any oversea's account for keeps.
I got your name through a family friend with the ministry of information
in my country when I started planning for my father's exit without knowing
that it will happen so quickly i.e our being thrown out of the country.
As you may be aware, my father ruled my country for over six years during
which I was able to save some money bearing in mind that nothing last forever.
As I write with you, now my father'bank accounts in Switzerland have been
frozen.I cannot wait to see all our accounts frozen hence I have taken
an urgent step believing that you are the right person that could be trusted
for a business venture of this magnitude.
As I write, I have $5 million USD (five million US dollars) that I have
successfully packaged and deposited with a security company in one of my
country' neighbour countries.
Considering the situation in Africa, we are not safe in this world now .
No,not any where in Africa[THE INTERNATIONAL CRIME TRIBUNAL HAVING SWORN
IT MUST ARREST MY DAD].So I would like you to help me transfer this money
out of Africa as I am busy organizing a fresh traveling documents on a
different
identity to enable me leave Africa and live a normal life.
And for your help, I will adequately compensate you for your efforts or
you can suggest a term which you consider suitable for your efforts for
my consideration.
Again I would like you as well to help me after the transfer to start up
a viable business in your country.
Please, I would like you to treat this matter as a top secret having given
you my true identity which I may not be using in my future correspondences
with you.
I would like you to reply making your intentions known urgently, as time
is of essence.
I can be contacted on the under-mentioned
email address:[email protected]
Please whenever you write address me as BEN
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
BEN

DEAR MIKE,
AS SOON AS YOU ARE READY.
YOU WILL NEED TO NOMINATE AN ATTORNEY TO HELP US WITH THE DOCUMENTATIONS AND LEGAL WORKS HERE.
I WANT TO LEGALIZE ALL I DO WITH PEOPLE SO THAT NO BODY PLAYS PRANKS.
THIS REQUIRES ALOT OF RUNNING AROUND AND BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY CONFINED TO THIS CITY CALABAR , I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO GET THINGS DONE AND MORE OVER I WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION IF I DO.
I WANT YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS SO THAT WE CAN CONTACT A LAWYER TO KICK START THE PROCESS.
GOD BLESS YOU,MIKE

LMAO, yes, it is. :stongue::stongue::stongue::stongue::stongue::stongue:
I got a similar one this summer. I immediately thought that anyone with that much influence and power would have the class and courtesy to call me with such a request and give me a generous upfront commission.
And maybe some chicken. Mmmmm. I sure do love me some chicken. |

I forget where I read it but some chick played along with him, even sent him an ugly picture which he said was beautiful. Well they setup a meeting and he actually went there, but she never showed up.
She took a bunch of pictures of him and e-mailed him with them calling him a jackass....ah, good stuff.
I prolly ruined the story but you can imagine a funnier version. |

A) fake cards
B) fake visas
C) fake accounts
