From: MRS. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS

Greetings to you,

With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets
you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you
as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that
you take due consideration of its importance and the immense benefit it will be
to you. After careful consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you
for your most needed assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing
on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this
proposal to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce
myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS mother of five and
the Minister of Health and Sanitation of The Republic of Sierra Leone for a year
and a half running you can view my profile on my countries web site;

I will now give you a general overview of the situation. From 1989 to 1991,I
Agnes worked as Financial Comptroller cum Secretary to the Board of Directors of
the National Industrial Development and Finance Organisation Limited (NIDFO) a
joint project of UNDP, UNIDO and the Government of Sierra Lone,My managerial
functions included the control of all financial matters, the mobilisation of
resources for the company and serving in the project appraisal committee that
reviews and approves loans to small-scale entrepreneurs in 1996, with my
influence, my husband Mr. thomas Taylor lewis a very successful businessman was
awarded several contracts in my country and had direct dealings with foreign
investors in this field. Due to my political status,and position I was not
involved in my husband's business but was the financier of the projects through
funds from the bank the business was very successful. My beloved husband died
whilst on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in Febr
uary 2001 had a plane crash and died. about some months after my husband died, I
was contacted as next of kin by a private security firm in Europe to come forth
with the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety deposit my husband has in
their Vault in his name. At that time, my children and I did not have an idea
where the Certificate might be. We then instructed the security firm to continue
holding the safety deposit until further instructions from me. Whilst preparing
for the second remembrance of my beloved husband, I was going through his
library collection and to my astonishment I discovered a Certificate of Deposit
for the safety deposit with this private security firm, and other documents
relating to the safety deposit in a book. The safety deposit which is a trunk,
is stocked with hard currency (US Dollars) totalling $18,500,000 which was
generated from cash payments from his business associates in the diamond trade
from Antwerp, Belgium. Though I knew my late husba
nd was in the diamond business, I did not have the knowledge that he moved funds
in cash. This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to
have this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential properties
abroad as well as profitable ventures, as any member of my family cannot hold
such a huge amount in our name due to my political status, hence we sincerely
propose to you to render us your most needed assistance in this regard.cause we
dont want the government to probe us. If you agree to render us your assistance,
your role in this project will be to act on my behalf as a trustee to receive
the safety deposit containing the funds from the Security firm. Though I believe
this transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's interest will be
protected by a family associate, who is a lawyer(attorney) attached to the
sierra leone Embassy in the country where the security firm is located. He is
now aware of the safety deposit, and I have inf
ormed him that I am locating one of my husband's business associates (you) to
handle the funds and invest on our behalf, as he might be opposed to our
decision if he found out that I barely know you. For your reliable assistance,
we are offering you 15 %($2,775,000) of the funds. I thank you in advance as we
anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from
you, I will forward your contact to the gentleman lawyer who will be
representing us, As you may understand, due to my sensitive position in the
present government, it is not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax. This
is why I have communicated with you with my private email address, and I like us
to keep this way, for the safety of this transaction. Please contact me on my
private email address;

whether or not you are interested in assisting us. This will enable us make
alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part.

With warm regards,

MRS. AGNES TAYLOR-LEWIS
