Subject: Urgent assistance-----from Miss Rose
Dear friend,
With sincerity, trust and honesty, I wish to inquire of your services to be my foreign partner / investor and support me to transfer and manage my funds by investing in profit making ventures like buying of company shares in your country. The recent growth of your country Economy and Trade activities impressed me, having thought of how greater the market will look in the next 10-20 years I decide to relocate to your country and have a better future since the Africa environment is not favorable to me.
Forgive me for contacting you through this medium without a formal notification. I know you do not know me before, and this will definitely come to you as a surprise. I got your contact information during my private search for an international businessman who is capable to handle this transaction and my investment in your country.
I am Miss Rose Johnson the daughter of late Mr. Habebe Johnson. I am a citizen of Liberia and was born in May 22nd 1978. My father was the personal/private accounting officer to former President Charles Taylor of Liberia. My Father was murdered in cold blood during the rebel war in my country Liberia.
As I have explained above I need your support to transfer my funds Twenty Nine Million Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$29,900,000.00) to your personal or company account abroad for my investment.
When the war started in my country (LIBERIA) where by the rebels wants to eliminate the president and his followers, my father, mother and younger sister happens to be victims of the war. Before my father died after he was shot several time, he called me to inform me about the US$29.9 million. These funds are kept in Cote d'ivoire under my fathers name with a security company as consignment for safekeeping. I have the legal documents for the deposit of the consignment (Funds) with the security company in Cote d'ivoire, which my father gave to me before he died. He advice me to go out of Liberia immediately to Cote d'ivoire where the funds are kept and look for an international partner to transfer the funds out of Africa for my future living. Presently, I am residing in Cote d'ivoire as a refugee (Asylum Seeker).
I am willing to offer you 35% of the whole money for the inconveniences this will cost you and for your support in this transaction.
As a matter of urgency and confidentiality, please do let me know if you can or cannot assist me in handling this transaction and the investment involve.
I anticipate your quick response, indicating your interest and commitment. In your reply do not forget to include your direct (private) telephone and fax numbers. Treat with utmost confidentiality.
Best Regards.
Mrs Rose Johnson
