Good Day,
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise,
nevertheless I am Mrs. Lydia Johnson, aged 59 years,
the wife of Major Stephen Johnson, Chief Security
Officer and Aide-de–camp to the president Charles
Tailor of Liberia.
As a result of the on-going war in my country, I am
saddled with problems of my ill health of protracted
diabetes and high blood pressure which is getting of
increase in the resent times and also getting a trust
worthy individual abroad to receive the sum of
US$7million and 15 kg worth of Diamond on our behalf.
Due to this war crises presently in my city Monrovia
our home town, my husband managed to sneak me and my
son David 23 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.
My husband adviced me to get a trust worthy individual
abroad to receive the deposit.I feel confident
therefore to introduce myself and this offer to you
based on this problem of war in my country 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 on the
advice of my husband as this is the only wealth
remaining for the future survival and well being of
our 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 war.I pray and plead
for your help.
You can email me back or call me on 00221 615_04_59
for further clarifications.
Alternative Email Address: mrslydia_2007@yahoo.com <mailto:mrslydia_2007@yahoo.com>
God bless you as you heed to my plea for assistance.
Sincerely yours.
Mrs.Lydia Johnson and Son David
