Despite the very common opening line, this email is definately not going to be beneficial to any person who replies, it's a scam.
I'm confiding in you?

I'm confiding in you.
Compliments of the day, I'm Jerry Charles. I know that this email will come to you as a surprise but be rest assured that it is intended for the mutual benefit of both of us. I was Personal aide to the deposed president of Liberia (Mr. Charles Taylor) As a result of pressure from the International Community during his days in office I had to flee the country for my safety, where I am currently laying low seeking political asylum here in Europe. Before the fall of his Government he directed me to lodge some funds in a Private Firm. To retrieve the deposit to avoid confiscating the deposit by the authority
I want you to front you as my business associate and trustee to the funds (US$3,5M) so that ownership title can be change in your name for easy transfer of this fund, hence my political asylum statue will not allow me handle a transaction such as this. After receive the funds you will have 30% of the total amount while you will invest my balance of 70% in any lucrative business pending when I'm able to normalize my political asylum here and have free movement I can come over and meet with you.
Though we have never met, but I have to blindly trust and believe you will not sell me out. Please if you are interested email me the following details below;
1. Your Full Name
2. Postal address
3. Occupation
4. Telephone and Fax numbers
These information will enable me formally introduce you to the management of the company as a business associate to whom the deposit will be released to with relevant information related to the Deposit which I shall give to you. Wait your response for further discussion and how to proceed
Regards
Jerry Charles
