HOW ARE YOU TODAY ?
REF. NUMBER OKL/ 7411026/3.
BATCH. NUMBER A2- 9-KT05-3.

DEAR SIR,

I WISH THE BEST IN LIFE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND I HOPE YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS MAIL IN GOOD SPIRIT AND RESPOND QUICKLY WITH UTMOST SECRECY AND CONFIDENTIALITY, I GOT YOUR ADDRESS THROUGH MY PERSONAL SEARCH FOR RELIABLE PERSON THAT CAN HELP ME IN SECURING THE SAFE KEEPING OF THE FUND TILL MY ARRIVAL IN YOUR COUNTRY.

MY NAME IS GEN.HASSAIN MULU JUBRIL (RTD), I WAS THE CHIEF OF SECURITY AND OPERATIONS FOR FORMER PRESIDENT CHARLES TAYLOR OF LIBERIA, BUT I AM IN LONDON NOW.

PLEASE PROTECT THIS MAIL FOR THE SAFETY OF MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY FAMILY TO AVOID US BEING TOTURED OR KILLED BY CERTAIN GOVERNMENT SECRET AGENTS.

PLEASE, I HUMBLY BEG YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO READ VERY CAREFULLY THE SITUATION IN MY COUNTRY, THE SITUATION IN LIBERIA IS VERY CRITICAL AND CHAOTIC.

THE UPROAR AND HOSTILITIES HAD BROUGHT THE COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES AND FROM INTELLIGENCE REPORTS THE CENTER CANNOT HOLD ANY MORE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT CHARLES TAYLOR AND HIS GOVERNMENT.

THE INTENSE PRESSURE FROM UNITED STATES, UNITED NATIONS, INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND WEST AFRICAN PEACE KEEPING FORCES [ECOMOG] HAD MADE THE FORMER PRESIDENT CHARLES TAYLOR TO STEP ASIDE AND GONE ON EXILE, THERE IS SO MUCH PRESSURE TO PRESS WAR CRIME CHARGES AGAINST HUMANITY.

YOU KNOW MY COUNTRY LIBERIA IS VERY RICH IN DIAMONDS AND WITH MY POSITION AS FORMER CHIEF OF SECURITY AND OPERATIONS, I HAVE ACCUMULATED SO MUCH DIAMONDS WHICH I HAD SOLD TO THE TUNE OF $18.3 MILLION U.S.DOLLAR, EIGHTEEN MILLION AND THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.DOLLARS OVER THE YEARS AND IT IS THIS FUND THAT I WANT TO MOVE TO YOU FOR SAFE KEEPING AND FOR INVESTMENT.

ALL I NEEDED FROM YOU IS TO FURNISH ME WITH YOUR PARTICULARS:

(1) YOUR FULL NAME.
(2) YOUR COMPANY AND RESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES.
(3) YOUR PERSONAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER.
(4) YOUR AGE.
(5) YOUR MARITAL STATUS.
(6) THE FIRST PAGE OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OR ANY IDENTIFICATION CARD.

THEN IT WOULD BE SEND TO YOU THROUGH DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICE, WITH YOUR NAME AS THE BENEFICIARY WITHIN FEW DAYS, PLEASE WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR TO RECEIVE THIS FUND FOR ME? ELSE THE GOVERNMENT IN POWER WILL SEIZE THE FUND AND PLUNDER IT.

IF YOU ARE CAPABLE AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL TRULY AND HONESTLY HELP ME, WRITE ME NOW, TIME IS NO MORE ON MY SIDE.

I WILL GIVE YOU 15% OF THE FUND AND 5% FOR UNEXPECTED EXPENSES, I WILL COME TO YOUR COUNTRY TO TAKE MY PART AND EXTEND A FRIENDLY HAND.

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS FUND IS NOT LOANED OR STOLEN MONEY BUT RATHER A HARD EARNED MONEY, JUST FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100 PERCENT RISK FREE.

I URGENTLY AWAIT YOUR REPLY.

PLEASE REPLY TO: genhass@takemail.com

YOURS SINCERELY.
GENERAL HASSAIN MULU JUBRIL (RTD).
