Our country LIBERIA is in a civil war with no end in sight. The President, CHARLES TAYLOR since he toppled our late president Samuel Doe in 1990, Liberia has never been the same. Our country’s wealth has been amassed to acquire arms and ammunition in fighting rebel attacks, the rest of the country wealth he have stashed away in foreign countries against the day he will go on exile as it is now. These acts have caused our countrymen and women, Liberian children to starve and become refugees in all over Africa and the world. Our present dilemma started when my late husband, the presidential chief State Security Adviser was made the head of the Presidential Task Force, a committee set up for the protection and continuation of Charles Taylor presidency with the amount of US$ 19.300.000.00 (Nineteen million three hundred thousand united states dollars) given to him for the task.
Within this period President Charles Taylor was indicted for war crime charge, followed by the intense civil war
Caused by the LURID rebel attack that final mounted a global pressure for Charles Taylor to step down
My husband seeing the end of the Charles Taylor government got involve in a foiled coup attempt to remove Charles Taylor in order to retained peace and stability in Liberia, but unfortunately this cause him his life He died for our nation, a martyr.
But before my husband was hanged he intimated me of the amount of US$ 19. 300.000.00 that he deposited in South Africa in a security company and where to find the documents for the fund and that I must leave Liberia immediately with our children for our safety, which we did with nothing but this money in South Africa, deposited as a family valuable to avoid unnecessary attention and high demurrage.
We had plan to invest this money in South Africa, but because of our situation here as Asylum Seekers, the investment laws in South Africa does not allow any Asylum Seeker- investment rights not even to operate bank account. Coupled with the nearness of South Africa to my country which have made us decide to move further out of Africa for our safety We have made all the necessary arrangement for the transfer this fund to your
Country, all that we need from you now is your assistant with your personal or company’s bank account detail to transfer this fund out to your country and your assistant to invest this fund for us
Do understand that there is no risk of any kind involve in this transaction, as every arrangement is legal, all that we require of you is a reliable account to receive this money and your trustworthiness respond we will discuses the detail modalities and your percentages. I have lost my husband and my country as we can not return home ever again, all that we have now is this money and your decision to help us, please whatever be your decision it is important that you let us know, contact my son David who is presently in charge due to my ill health
