Dear Friend,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship
with you. I got your contact information from your country's
information
directory during my desperate search for someone who can assist me
secretly and confidentially in relocating and managing my funds. I
prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its
esteeming nature and a trust-worthy person that I can do business with.
I must not hesitate to confine in you for this simple and sincere
business.
I am MRS HILDA TOMSON, the legal wife to late Major Johnny Wellington
Tomson, My Husband was the head
of the presidential guard to Mr Charles Taylor the Former liberia
president.Before the death of my Husband, on may 15th,2003 during an
attempt by the rebels on the life of president C.Taylor, where he was
brutally injured and subsequently rushed to the presidential hospital
in
monrovia where he later died.Before his death,he secretly called me to
his bedside and told me that he has the sum of US$40 Million dollars
(forty million dollars)which he deposited with my name as his legal
wife
as the beneficiary and next of kin in depositing the funds with a
clearing house in European country.
The major reason is that the fund was deposited in a Security Company
in Europe it was because of the ways the president was ruling the
country,that he foresee things might go wrong with him in due course.
I am now in cotonou-Republic of Benin as a refugee because i am being
sought after by the rebels since my husband was seen as one of Taylor's
strong men as they want to wipe out our family. In this respect,i am
humbly seeking your assistance in the following ways :
1.To present yourselve as my beneficiary and next of kin to the
funds,since i am hiding my identity from the authority to avoid them
confisticating the funds or sending it back to Liberia.
2.To serve as a trustee to the funds with the fear of God in your heart
3.To make arrangement for me to come over to your country as an
investor
and to secure Residence permit in your country.
Please contact me immediately through my

another foreign partner to carry out this transaction. But whereby, you
