I am Ms kate johnson the first Daughter of Mr
Raymond johnson former national security advicer to
the Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang.I am writing to express my interest in real estate or
landed properties in your country , Though my father
died in Tsunami Disaster on 26th of December 2004 .
Before his untimely death, he instructed me to leave
the country for my safety and start up a business
somewhere out side Asia with a total sum of
USD20.500.000 ( Twenty million five hundred thousand
United States Dollars)deposited in a security and
finance company in Lome Cotonu .
Actually, I have never met you before, it was a friend
of my fathers who happened to be present at his bural
that adviced me to consider your country for my
investments. After due consideration, I started
searching the web site where Igot your contact.
No one else is aware of my proposal to you. Due
to Eathquake disaster in Asian region, I decided to
seek your assistance in transfering this money into
your private or institutional account for investment
purposes. I have all the vital documents that covers
the deposit which could be faxed to you upon request.
Transaction of this nature demands the highest trust
and confidence between both parties. This transaction
is risk free in the sense that I have taken proper
care of all formalities involved.
For your assistance in this transfer, I have decided
to give 20% of the total sum involved and 5% mapped
out formiscellaneous expenses that we may incure
during the process.

forward to hearing from you soon. through my private
