Liberian 419 scammer Robert Bada is new to me. He poses as the EX personal assistant of Charles Taylor, and promises me 20% of his take of 25 million US$. Not bad…
Strangely enough, Robert Bada worries about infinging my privacy. Well, Robert: It’s not as much you writing to me that makes me publish your mail. What ticks me off is the fact that you are actively trying to steal from me!

Let me first start by introducing myself properly to you. My name is Robert Bada, i was the personal assistance to the President of Republic of Liberia. I got your email address from network directory. I apologize if I have infringed on your privacy. It may interest you to know that the former president of Liberia has been fighting serious civil war with the Liberia United for the Restoration of Democracy (LURDS) for quite some years now. The LURDS has been backed (all along) by some foreign powerful countries.
Not quite long ago, the American government ordered Charles Taylor to leave Liberia or be forced out of power.
Knowing fully well the capabilities of America and other powerful members of the United Nations, (President Charles Taylor) decided on the 11th of August 2003 to go into exile in a neighboring country Nigeria to seek asylum as well as his cabinet menbers including myself. He is presently in a town called calabar is Nigeria. A new government headed by Vice President Mr Moses Blah has been sworn in.
Based on these developments,our various foreign bank accounts have been frozen and some some still under investigation.
In the light of all these sad happenings,i was able, through the help of some loyalist suceeded to secretely move the sum ofus$25M (TWENTY-FIVER MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS]to a private security company vault in europe and right now,i wants the services of a highly reliable foreigner that will receive the funds into his/her bank account for the future survival of my family because i cannot presently operate any foreign bank account in my name.
