ASYLUM CAMP ABIDJAN
FROM PAUL JOHNSON
Dear Sir,
I am PAUL JOHNSON the only son of late former Chief of staff of Liberia,
PRINCE C. JOHNSON who died under the government of Ex President Charles
Taloy, I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is my bond in this
proposal,my late father diverted this money meant for purchase of ammunition
for my country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my country, and
he has deposited the money with a BANK here in Abidjan, where I am residing
under political asylum with my younger sister JOY.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of Amercan government and
African Union Chairman Shief Olushegu Obasanjo (AU), the present government
of Liberia has revoked the passport of all officers who served under the
former regime and now ask countries to expel such person at the same time
freeze their account and confiscate their assets, it is on this note that I
am contacting you, all I need from you is to furnish me with your bank
particulars:
1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number For you to assist me transfer this
money in your private bank account, the said amount is (Nine Million
Dollars) $9Million,I am compensating you with 20% of the total amount.All my
hope is banked on you and I really want to invest this money in your
country, were their is stability of Government, political and economic
welfare. Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is real and
never a joke.
My late father PRINCE C. JOHNSON gave me the photocopies of the certificate
of deposit issued to him by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to be
clarified because I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that
you are able to keep this transaction secret for me because this money is
the hope of my life.
He used me the only son as the next of kin on the day of deposit and also
told me I need an assistance of a foreigner with a legitimate bank Account
abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary and partner abroad to ensure a
successful hitch free transfer of the fund abroad.
Feel free and make it urgent and write me immediately to comfirm your
acceptance, try to negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment
opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it
is transferred to your account, personally I am interested in estate
management and hotel business please advise and help us we are suffering a
lot here.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
PAUL JOHNSON.
