Subject: From Col. Anthony Johnson.

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; I got your address through my personal search for reliable person that can help me in securing the safe keeping of the fund till my arrival in your country. My name is Col. Anthony Johnson and I was one the special and secret advisers to former president Charles Taylor of Liberia. Please protect this mail for the safety of my life and that of my family to avoid us being toured or killed by his left behind secret agents.

Please I humbly beg you from the bottom of my heart to listen very carefully, the situation in my country are very critical and chaos, uproar and hostilities had brought the country to its knees and from intelligent report the center cannot hold anymore for former president Charles Taylor and his government after he was stepped down and arraigned for crime against humanity by United Nations.

The intense pressure from United States, United Nations, international community and African Union had made him former president Charles Taylor to step aside and gone on exile to Nigeria after which he was arrested and now in UN custody facing a war crime charges against humanity.

Listen very carefully; you know my country Liberia is very rich with diamonds, and with my position a secret Senior and personal adviser, I have accumulated so much diamonds which I had sold to generate close to $25.3 million over the years and it is this fund that I want to move to you for safe keeping and investment.

The funds are in boxes in dollars denomination and it would be sent to you as soon as we conclude. Please would you do me a favor to receive this fund for me? Else the government in power will seize this fund if they find out who I am and what I have.

After my former boss President Charles Tailor stepped down and move to exile, I flew out of the country through the help of a diplomat from Malaysia. I came here, thinking that the place will be good enough to invest my money but in the contrary, I did not find the place safe because of violation of human right in this country. If you are capable and know that you will truly and honestly help me, please respond to me now as time is no more on my side. I want to leave this country as soon as I can. I will give you 30% of the fund and I will invest my own share in your country.

Please bear in mind that this fund is not loaned or stolen money but rather hard earned money generated.

Please for us to conclude this transaction I will want you to send me the following information.

(1) Your full name.

(2) Your residential house address.

(3) Your direct telephone and fax number.

(4) Your age and occupation.
