ATTN: Managing Director/C.E.O
I am sure, that this letter will be surprise to you; I am
Mr Johnson Manfred of the Republic of Liberia {West Africa}
and the former Aide De Camp of the incumbent President,
CHARLES TAYLOR, of the Republic of Liberia who is presently
Asylum in Nigeria. I got your contact through South Africa
information Exchange S.A.I.E about your capability of
championing this transaction with me.
The incumbent PRESIDENT, CHARLES TAYLOR, successfully
toppled the former President of my Country, the Late SAMUEL
DOE and ruled peaceful for few years. How ever, five {5}
years ago, the rebels from the northern part of my country
rebelled against the Government. Ever since then, my
country has been at war. Due to this war, public funds and
properties have been constantly looted and stolen by the
Rebel Soldiers and Government Functionaries.
However, when the rebel attack became so serious,
unnegotiatable and unbearable, My colleague and I were
assigned by the president on behalf of his cabinets to
purchase ammunition worth of US$ 22MILLION {Twenty Two
Million United States Dollars} from South Africa, while we
were still negotiating for arms deal in South Africa, we
heard over the news that the rebel has invaded/captured the
Capital City, Monrovia and the President Charles Taylor,
has been given automaton to relinquish power, which took
place on 11th day of August 2003, so we saw this as a
golden opportunity to divert the fund for our own interest,
coupled with the news we heard about AMERICA and ECOWAS
tropes sent to MONROVIA for peace keeping.
Furthermore, we deposited the fund with the Security and
Finance Company here in Johannesburg South Africa in which
the content was not disclose to them, rather it was lodge
in as a family treasures worth US$22MILLION where I am
presently living as an Asylum Seeker. The Financial law of
South Africa does not permit/allow asylum seeker any
financial right. In view of this, coupled with the way in
which this money was acquired, I decided not to invest this
money anywhere in South Africa or African Continent as a
whole in-other to avoid confiscation hence South Africa
President is the chairman of African Union {AU}
For your effort, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the
total sum if you will assist me to transfer this money into
your account oversea, 5% have been mapped out for expense
that might be incurred in the process of this transaction,
while the remaining 70% will be for My Colleague and I
which we intend to invest in your Country or anywhere you
may deem fit under your close supervision and directive.
From the above, you will understand that our entire life
and future of our families depends on this money, as such I
will be very much appreciate if you can assist us. Please
note that this transaction is 100% risk free. The major
thing I request from you is absolute assurance that this
money will be safe when transferred to your account. If you
can be of assistance, kindly contact me on the above
telephone, email and fax number. Even if you have decided
otherwise, I will be most grateful if you maintain the
confidentiality of this matter.
I am looking forward to your urgent responds.
Yours sincerely.
MR JOHNSON MANFRED
