Dear Friend,

I am BARR:WILLIAMS PETER.a close associate and personal Attorney of Mr.Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia and Leader of National Patriotic Liberation Front of Liberia from 1989-2003. President Charles Taylor presently in exile following the insurgence of Rebels and out break of civil war in the country. I was privy to a lot of huge transaction in mining of Diamond and Gold during his reign, which resulted to his stupendous wealth.
Ecause of latest civil war and imminent collapse of his regime, coupled with United Nation sanction on Liberia and United States quit order, Taylor has no option than to flee the country. While tidying up himself for exile he was able to arrange for the movement of US$42.7M (Forty Two Million, Seven Hundred Thousand UnitedStates Dollars Only) out of the country to a security company in Europe. This was accomplished with the aid of some diplomatic loyalist who never knew the content of the diplomatic luggage. All relevant documents being issued by the security company were promptly returned to Mr. Taylor by the Diplomat before his final departure from Liberia on 11th August, 2003.
In his usual articulated manner, he did not considered it wise for all his aides and associates to flee to same country with him hence, I was assigned to proceed to London for my own exile. But before my departure to London on the 8th August 2003, Mr. Taylor called me into one of his private room and handed over all the deposit substantiating documents of the said fund to me. It is pertinent to state, that I never knew about this transaction before then as Mr. Taylor would always maintain a particular transaction with one person at any given time and would never disclose the transaction to any other person. I am now in London living on a very low key in London and he also mandated me to source for a reliable and competent fellow who will provide an account for the release of this said fund. The fellow must have a charisma and ability to handle huge amount of money such as ours without the fear of mismanagement or diversion.
However, the Security Company is in Europe but not in London and I cannot approach the security company for the release of this money to me since I am a fugitive and for other obvious reasons. Hence, I am now seeking your assistance to help in receiving this fund on behalf of Mr. Taylor and for mutual benefit of us. Consequently, you will be compensated with 25% of the total sum should you accept to assist and I would be settled by Mr. Taylor thereafter. You can reach me directly on my Email.obi2002@kukamail.com for further discussion.Meanwhile, Mr. Taylor has assured me that he does not intend to stay to long in his present location and he has no further interest in returning to Liberia very soon. His desire is to move to any small country (Island) where he can re-organize himself with the proceed of this transaction and then live a very quite live free from controversy and strife. Please reach me by mail or preferable the above phone to confirm your acceptance of this offer so that we can forge ahead without any delays

Thanking you in advance for your anticipated co-operation

Yours truly,

BARR:WILLIAMS PETER.

'Stupendous wealth' :lol:
 
*Backs away slowly and then quickly emails this guy before someone else gets the money...*
 
I remember getting a similar one of these and thinking wow, out of all the millions of people in the world SOMEHOW this guy picked me to become fabulously wealthy for essentially doing nothing! How lucky am I?!?

I'm assuming you would email him back and he then mentions smething about needing a small contribution, refunded a hundred times over when the money is divided up of course. Hilarious. I never knew there were so many African diplomats/businessmen/activists/whatever with soooooo much cash!

I wonder if anyone actuallly believes this stuff for a second?

Actually what happens is, you email your bank details to them so they can "deposit the money". Then they simply drain your account! You would be surprised how many people fall for this. How many times have you got one of those "forward this email to win a lifetime's supply of CDs/books/free beer" from a friend who's fallen for it?

Damn that's nasty, still if you're dumb enough to give out your bank account details over the internet then you deserve to be cleaned out... I still haven't even used a credit card over the net, even though it's *supposedly* secure on most sites.
