From: Mrs. Jewel H. Taylor.
(Former First Lady, Republic of Liberia, West Africa) I am Mrs. Jewel Howard Taylor, an Americo-Liberian by birth and wife of embattled President of war torn Liberia, Mr. Charles Taylor. I am an Economist by profession. My husband just stepped down as the President of Liberia days ago, but matter were not helped when the UN special war crimes court of Sierra Leone indicted my husband for war crimes in June this year, demanding his prosecution. Currently, I and my husband have been granted assylum in Nigeria, but I relocated my two sons (Williams and Charles Jnr.) immediately in July 2003 to Sao Tome and Principe ( a small oil rich island off the coasts of West Africa). They are currently in hiding there under new identities, awaiting the out come of events in my country, and what will become of me and my husband in asylum. The reason is this During the political crisis some years ago in Sierra Leone ( a 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 South Africa with the diamonds (on my instructions) and sold them, netting a total of US$28,000,000.00 (Twenty Eighteen Million US Dollars only). This money he moved into a South African safe house for protective custody under a different name. Now, the south African Government 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 South Africa 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 correspondence banks or offices in London or Europe, for onward transfer to your account. Once you are able to show your sincerity, I will send the necessary correspondence and documentation related to the transaction to you to affect this. I am 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 to join you under new identities. My first son Williams is 27years old (an Economist) and Charles Jhr. is only 21 Years old. My Daughter Helen died in October 1999 from complications of Pneumonia. Please note that my husband is not even aware that I sole the diamonds, nor does he know the whereabouts of the funds. Once I am sure the funds are safely out of Africa, I will divorce him and leave with my two sons to start a new life. If you cannot help us, simply destroy this and forget I ever contacted you. You can reply me through my e-mail address[ May God guide you in whatever you decide and thank you for taking out time to read this request, Don't let this transaction down get back to me immediatly. Fondest Regards, Mrs. Jewel H. Taylor.
