Goodday Dear,
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise,nevertheless I am Mrs.
Lydia Johnson, aged 49 years,the wife of Major stephen johnson, Chief Security Officer and
Aide-de-camp to the exiled president Charles Tailor of Liberia . As a result of the on-going problem in my country, I am saddled with problems of my ill-health of protracted diabetes and high blood pressure which is getting of increase in the recent times, more importantly getting a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the sum of US$7million on our behalf.
Due to this war crises presently in my city Monrovia our home town, I managed to sneak myself and my son David 23 years of age and four other of my daughters out of Monrovia to Dakar senegal for safety. We were sneaked into Dakar Senegal through the land boarder by the help of some government militant group. After the killing of my husband by therebels, we decided to come down here to Dakar senegal to secure the deposit in a finance firm by my husband and to further look for a trust worthy individual abroad to receive these deposit which has being deposited here in Dakar Senegal before he was eventually killed by the heartless rebels. I feel confident therefore to introduce myself to you based on this problem
and our present condition as all our foreign contacts and connections got lost during this
crises, all properties burnt by the rebels. I am desperately in need to move
and re-locate this huge deposit to your country for safe keeping as this is the only wealth remaining for the future survival and well being of my large family.For your percentage for assistance, a negotiable percentage will be discussed as soon as I receive your response based on this plea for your assistance as our lives are highly in danger due to this problem. I
pray and plead for your help. You can email me back for further clarifications God bless you as you respond to my plea for assistance.
Sincerely yours.
Mrs Lydia Johnson.
