Olusegun Obasanjo and Charles Taylor are a good story

Seriously, they do offer a basis for a fairy tale like this. Charles Taylor was a prominent warlord in war torn Liberia. He most definitely made a lot of illicit money during that time. You can read more about Charles Taylor at Wikipedia.

You can also read more on the former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo there.

Dear ,

Greeetings to you!! I sincerely hope all is well.I know you might wonder how i got to know your contact email address. I got it from the Presidential Library here in Nigeria, West-Africa. My name is Mr.Robert Ansah, i was assigned on 3rd of August 2003, by the Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, to be the personal assistant(PA),to the former Liberan President, Charles Taylor, when he arrived Nigeria on exile. Following the exit of Charles Taylor of Liberia from power under a West Africa brokered peace agreement, led by the Nigerian President, he was granted asylum by the Nigerian Government and was subsequently, given a home in the south-eastern part of Nigeria, Calabar to be precise.

While on my assignment as the P.A to Mr.Charles Taylor, i observed that Mr.Taylor moved in large amount of monies, illegally to Nigeria and used some of his money to buy loyalty, and he also found me as a close confidant and asked me to advise him on the best place,he could possibly secure his money. That was how, i deposited $35Million in a Financial Institution oversea(WILL TELL YOU THE COUNTRY IF WILLING TO HELP ME) and i want to use for investment and spend the rest of my life, there with my family. Since he relocated to Calabar, Southern Nigeria, all has been well until the 28th day of March, 2006, he was arrested and flown to Sierra-Leone by the Nigerian Government, following the request of the present leadership of  the Liberian Government led by Mrs.Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, backed up by the U.N, to appear in a Sierra-Leonean Hign Court, on allegations of war-crimes charges, etc All necessary/vital documents that will enable the release of the funds to you, are in my custody and would be provided to you on receipt of your willingness to assist me in the sucessful execution of this transaction. Though we are not known to each other, i strongly believe that through this transaction, we would be able to forge a mutual relationship between us, now and in the nearest-future.
