PLEASE VERIFY THIS YOURSELF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Kind ATTN:
I am Mrs Lonah Wilfred Dragas Orhan, wife of Mr Dragas Orhan Business partner of Slobodan TESIC who was Involved in arrangements for transfer of arms to Liberia from Serbia to Charles Taylor (details in expert panel report S/2003/498). (details in expert panel report S/2003/498?) Since the removal of President Taylor from office my husband has been hiding because he is on the wanted list of associates of the former president that was declared wanted. Before his sudden arrest and currently standing trial at Hague for crimes against humanity, my husband=E2=80=99s accounts and our properties have been frozen and confiscated by the present elected government of Liberian, Ellen Sirlef Johnson.
We managed to escape to a remote village in Africa where we thought we willbe unknown but my husband was detected and wanted to be arrested before fled without coming back home and that was the last time I saw my husband.
However, before President Taylor left office and took refuge in Nigeria, he gave my husband $6.5 Million Dollars and 250 KG of Alluvial Gold Dust and some pieces of Rough Cut Liberian Blue and White diamonds. The funds were meant for acquiring a cache of arms for Charles Taylor but the deal could not go through because he was untimely forced out of Office.
My husband deposited these funds and the precious metals in a security and finance house in the Republic of Benin. My husband only declared the precious metals so as not to arose any suspicion. Before we fled the country, my husband handed these documents to me with stern warning that should anything happen to him, I should source for a foreigner who could retrieve these funds (or buy the precious metals) from the security and finance house and transfer it to his/her account and invest it so that the family could see something to live on since these is the only funds he has left in his life.
I have the details and document to back these funds so all I want is for anyone that can receive the funds in his/her account because I cannot claim the funds myself due to our present predicament.
I am prepared to split the funds fairly with anyone who could receive the funds into his/her account so that my family could see something to live on,more especially now that the former president has been arrested and I have not heard from husband for the past two years which has given me a serious worries and fear that my husband must have committed suicide.
You can confirm my husband (association with President Charles Taylor Yourself in the list of individuals subject to the travel restrictions imposed by paragraph 4 (a) of resolution 1521 (2003) and the arrest order of all hisassociates and his arrest in the BBC sites SECURITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ISSUES LIST OF NAMES OF INDIVIDUALS SUBJECT TO MEASURES IMPOSED BY PARAGRAPH 4 OF RESOLUTION 1521 (2003) The Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1521 (2003) concerning Liberia, today, 16 March 2004, approved the List of individuals subject to the travel restrictions imposed by Paragraph
