Subject: GOOD DAY
Mrs.Sonia Benson.
C/o Eglise St.Paul. (Catholic church )
Grand Yoff,Dakar Senegal.
My dear,
I know this mail may come to you as a surprise. Nevertheless please
don't be,I am Mrs.Sonia Benson,aged 48 years, the wife of Major Joseph
Benson, Chief Security Officer and Aide-de-camp to the exiled president
Charles Taylor of Liberia.
As a result of the on-going crisis in my country, I am saddled with
problems of my ill-health(protracted diabetes and high blood pressure)
which is currently of increase in the recent time but more importantly
to me now is getting a trust worthy individual abroad to receive the sum
of US$8 milliion on our behalf,this,I intend to invest in your country.
Due to the present crisis in my home city Monrovia, I managed to
sneak away with my son Earnest,22 years of age and my only daughter,Helen,
24 years, out from Monrovia to Dakar-Senegal for our safety. We sneaked
into Dakar-Senegal through the land boarder by the help of some
government militia group who guarded our safe exit from Liberia.
After the killing of my husband by the rebels, we decided to come
down here to Dakar senegal to take a temporal assylum and also to secure
the this deposit as was made here by my late husband also, to further
look for a trust worthy person abroad to receive these deposit upon it's
release.My late husband made this deposit before he was eventually
killed in my presence by the heartless rebels when they invaded our
residence in Monrovia.
I feel confident therefore to introduce myself to you based on this
problem and our present condition of stay here since all our foreign
contacts and connections got lost as result of the crisis which lead to
the killing of my late husband and the destruction of all his other
properties and estates by the rebels.I am desperately in need to move and
re-locate this deposit to your country for safe keeping as this is the
only wealth remaining for the future survival and well being of me and my
family out of all my late husbands estates/properties.
For your assistance, a negotiable percentage shall be discussed with
you as I receive your positive response on this issue,our lives are in
danger due to our present state of insecurity and condition of our stay
here.I plead and look foward for your help.
Please endavour to email me back for further clarifications on this
issue. God bless you as you respond to my plea for assistance.My
telephone 00221 631 79 43 shall be open for your call any time but if I am
available the time of your call, my son Earnest will respond to you
accordingly.You may reply through my email box.
Sincerely yours.
Mr. Danie Chea
