My Ref:G-Taylor/lib/en/87367 Attn: The Managing Director,
Dear Sir, Re: Our Unpleasant Condition. With humility and respect, I wish to state the following for your kind consideration. 2. I wouldn't hestate to introduce my humble self as Mrs. Jewel Howard Taylor, wife of embattled President of War torn Liberia, Mr. Charlse Taylor. 3. My husband just stepped down as President of Liberia, but matters were not helped when UN Special War Crimes Court indicted my husband for war crimes in June this year, demanding his prosecution. Currently I and my husband have been granted asylum in Nigeria, but I relocated my two sons (Williams & Charles Jnr) immediately in July 2003 to Sao Tome & Principe (a small oil rich island off the coast of West Africa). They are currently in hiding there under new identities, awaiting the outcome of events in my country, and what will become of me and my husband in asylum. 4. Furthermore the reason is this. During the political crisis some years ago in Sierra Leone (West African Country rich in diamonds), my husband was actively involved. Early this year, he entrusted some large quantities of diamonds to me. He told me if anything happened to him, I should use it to take care of myself. Fearing its detection due to the volume, my son (Williams) traveled to Holland with the diamonds (on my instructions) and sold them, getting a total sum in Dollars. This money he moved into a safe house in Holland for protective custody under a different name. 5. The government of Holland has refused issuing neither him nor my family any visa to travel to their country again because of the current political situation. This is why I need you to please either travel to Holland to claim this money and subsequently deposit same in a reputable bank there for onward transfer to your account, or to instruct the safe house to move the funds out of there to any of their corresponding banks or offices in London or Europe for onward transfer to your account. 6. Once you are able to show your sincerity I will send the necessary correspondence and documentation related to the transaction to you to effect this. I am also willing to forfeit 30% of the funds to you, believing you will hold 70% on trust for me and my two sons until we are able to leave here and join you under new identities. My first son Williams is 27years old (an Economist), and Charles Jnr is only 21 years old. My only daughter Helen died in October 1999 from complications of pneumonia. Please note that my husband is not even aware that I sold the diamonds, nor does he know the whereabout of the funds. Once I am sure the funds are safely out of Holland, I will divorce him and leave with my sons to start a new life. If you cannot help us, simply destroy and forget I ever contacted you. You can contact me via email, [EMAIL PROTECTED] enclosing your contacts looking forward to hearing from you soon. Regards Mrs. Jewel Howard Taylor
