Madam Aminata Johnson.

Compliment of the day.
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise. Nevertheless I am Mrs
Aminata Johnson , aged 59 years, wife of Major Johnson,
Chief Security Officer and Aide-de-camp to the exiled president Charles
Tailor of Liberia.
As a result of the on-going problem in my country, Iam saddled with
problems of my ill-health of protracted diabetes and high blood pressure
which is getting of increase in the recent times, more importantly
getting a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the sum of US$7.5million and 15kg worth of Diamond on our behalf which I intend to invest in your company.Due to this crises presently in my city Monrovia our home town, I managed to sneak myself and my son Prince 25 years of age and four other of my daughters out of Monrovia to Dakar senegal for safety.We were sneaked into Dakar Senegal through the land boarder by the help of some government militant group.
After the killing of my husband by the rebels, we decided to come down
here to Dakar senegal to secure this deposited here by my
husband and to further look for a trust worthy individual abroad to
receive these deposit which has being deposited here in Dakar Senegal
before he was eventually killed by the heartless rebels.I feel confident
therefore to introduce myself to you based on this problem and our present condition as all our foreign contacts and connections got lost during this crises, all properties burnt by the rebels.I am desperately in
need to move and re-locate this huge deposit to your country for safe
keeping as this is the only wealth remaining for the future survival and
well being of my large family.
For your percentage for assistance, a negotiable percentage will be
discussed as soon as I receive your response based on this plea for your
assistance as our lives are highly in danger due to this problem.I pray
and plead for your help. Please endavour to email me back for further
clarifications over this issue.
God bless you as you respond to my plea for assistance.My telephone
00221 5181350 will be open for your call any time but if I am available
the time of your call,
my son Prince will respond to you accordingly.You may reply through my email box or through that of my son at madam_johnson2001@yahoo.com.sg my son have more access to the computer.
