Dear Friend,
I wish the best in life for you and your family, and I hope you will receive
this mail in good spirit and respond quickly with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality, My husband got your address through professional
relationship in discharging his duties for our government. My name is Mrs.
Susan Anthony Johnson, and my husband was the chief of security and
operations for former president Charles Taylor of Liberia.
Please I humbly beg you from the bottom of my heart to listen very
carefully, the situation in my country is very critical and chaos, uproar
and hostilities had brought the country to its knees though a new Government
has been elected and from intelligent report the center cannot hold anymore
for former president Charles Taylor and his government as a new Government
is since been sworn into power.
The intense pressure from United States, United Nations, International
Community and West African Peace keeping to[ECOMOG] had made him [former
president Charles Taylor] to step aside and gone on exile and also pressure
to face war crime charges against humanity. Listen very carefully, you know
my country Liberia is very rich with diamonds, and with husband position as
former chief of security and operations he was able to accumulate so much
diamonds which he had sold to generate close to $18,5 Million over the years
and it is this fund that I want to move to you for safe keeping.
The fund is in two boxes and in dollar denomination and presently in a safe
security vault in Europe and our arrangement is that we present you as our
partner so that you can clear the consignments and make arrangements to
deposit the funds into an account for sharing and investment purposes since
my self and my Husband has little or no power or the connection in Europe to
do this. Please would you do me a favor to receive this fund for us? Else
the new government is seeking for my husband funds be returned back to the
country.
If you are capable and know that you will truly and honestly help us, write
me now, time is no more on my side as myself and my Husband are still under
close watch.
We will give you 20% of the fund and our family lawyer will join when the
time come for you to visit the security for the claming of the boxes.
Please bear in mind that this fund is not a looted or stolen money but
rather a hard earned money generated and we do not have any intension of
returning this fund back as they are purely hard earned.
Pls. if you are willing to help kindly forward to me your responds to this
emails address: anthony-ag@myway.com the following details about you:
1. Your full names
2. Preamble about yourself (marital status, occupation, your age)
3. Telephone and Fax numbers
We urgently await your reply
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Susan A. Johnson (Gen.)
