Good day ,
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise.Nevertheless I am Mrs.Susan Johnson, aged 54 years,the wife of Major D.O. Johnson, Chief Security Officer and Aide-de–camp to the exiled president Charles Taylor of Liberia . As a result of the on-going problem 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 recent times, more importantly getting a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the sum of US$7million on our behalf which I intend to invest in your country.Due to this crisis in my city Monrovia our home town, I managed to sneak myself and my son Daniel 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 the this deposit with the as
sistance of a trust worthy individual abroad to receive these deposit which has being deposited in a fiduciary company by my husband 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 the crisis, all properties burnt by the rebels.I am desperately in need to move and re-locate this deposit to your country for safe keeping as this is the only wealth remaining for the future survival and well being of my family.For your commission for assistance, a negotiable percentage will be discussed as soon as I receive your response based on this plea for your assistance for us to re locate and start a new life in your country. I pray and plead for your help.
Please endeavor to email me back for further clarifications over this issue.God bless you as you respond to my plea for assistance.
Sincerely yours.
Mrs. Susan Johnson
