Subject: CONFIDENTIAL PLEASE READ

Sir/Madam
I am Mrs Franca Johnson, wife of Prince Johnson
, late chief of the armed forces to the former Liberian head of

State,who died in a car accident comfirm with the web sitehttp:/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/527641.stm

Charles Taylor who is currently on Political Asylum coutesy
President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria.you can comfirm with this website http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/06/10/liberia.taylor/

I lost my husband in the last
attack between the liberian rebels and the troops loyal to Charles
Taylor right now am in Nigeria with many other Liberians granted
political asylum by the Nigerian Govt. My problem started when we
arrived Nigeria in september with Charles Taylor ,and as my position as
the wife of the late chief security adviser to Charles Taylor . I was
made to answer questions relating to the money he mapped out for the
purchase of arms & ammunitions to counter the attack of liberian
rebels, towards the Presidential villa in monrovia. The total sum of
the money is $41,000,000.! I have been under security checks right from
Liberia and to Nigeria. though i have good knowledge of where my late
husband deposited the money in a security company before he died, i
have also , in my possesion all vital documents covering the money. Now
that the Nigerian Government interveined and adviced Charles taylor to
forget about the fund as i was not directly entrusted with money. Right
now i am urgently in need of a God fearing Man or Woman to assist in
the transfer of the said $41,000,000 into his or her personal account
pending my arrival for sharing. I alone knows about the fund at the
moment. If you agree to assist me in this transaction. i will make
available to you 25% of the total sum of $41,000,000. That will amount
to $10,250,000 from my calculations. this will be a backed up by a
written agreement from my attorney. other modalities will be
communicated to you as soon as i hear from you. i will a! lso furnish
you with where the money is deposited to enable you communiate with the
institution and finalize the payment into your account. Please treat
this matter with utmost confidentiality. Bear in mind that all expenses you
made will be deducted from the total amount before sharing.

BEST REGARD
Mrs Franca Johnson
