Dearest one,
I am mrs faith johnson the wife of late cheif andrew johnson, the owner of
two gold fields in seirra leone that was later taken over from us by the
government, and my husband was made the director of the mines before the
rebelforces attacked him and took it over. i got your contact through my
search in the internet as reputable person who can help me to manage our
inherited fund in a good business until my son is able to take over.
sir as a busy person, i pray you will have enough time to consent to my
plight and proposal i would like to confide in you that i inherited a total
sum of $$17.000.000..usd(seveenteen milion united states dollars ) from my
late husband (chief andrew johnson) who was killed by the rebel soldiers in
sierra-leone.
this money was moved down to abidjan ( cote d'ivoire )with instruction to
transfer the consignment to london or budapest and holland collecting center
and deposited in a prime security firm by my late husband under a special
secret arrangement in which he declared the consignment as family valuables
and with the hope of investing it later,but the sudden death could not allow
him. after his sudden death we discovered a copy of the will he made in
which he stated that the deposit contains money, though declared as family
valuables for security reason.

now looking for a trusted partner in overseas whose account can accomodate
this money, and can be coveniently deposited for investment and managment on
