Hello, I am Miss Young. I received this story from a friend. Let me

Hello,
I realy think this is some kind of fraud.
On the death certificate you can read that Mr. Yormie Johson has
died on 14 feb 2002 but on the internet side from Liberia I saw
he has won the 2005 elections as a senator
see this link:http://www.search.com/reference/Yormie_Johnson
I am not sure if it is the same person, but I think so.
Please if you have time let me now something.
Thanks for your advice on the internet>
Best Regards,
Mr. Visanu |

I answered:
Hi Visanu,
You are absolutely right. This is fraud. It is a typical example of
419 fraud.
See a similar story here: http://419.bittenus.com/FrancaYormie/index.htm
and similar Death Certificates here: http://419.bittenus.com/deathcert.htm.
I was not aware that the real Yormie Johnson had become a senator,
but I managed to get it confirmed: http://www.necliberia.org/results/Senate/Results_3300.php
Here is a little about his (dark) past:
"I'm sorry I murdered the president" http://www.tchadforum.com//pages/news_item.php?nid=135

It all started when Visanu replied to a letter from Miss Rose Johnson
Yormie.
Here are some of the letters Visanu received:

a good relationship with you, and I have a special reason why I decided
to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here and I
am Ms.Rose Johnson i am 25years old girl from Liberia,the only daughter
of Late Prince Johnson Yormie the deputy minister of national
security under the leadership of president Charles Taylor who is now
in exile after many innocent soul were killed ,My father was killed
by government of Charles Taylor ,he accuse my father of coup attempt.if
you don't mind i will like you to write me on this ID:(mss_rose800@yahoo.com)
hope to hear from you soon,I will be waiting for your mail
I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I, am receiving
from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury
and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father.
Meanwhile I wanted to escape to the Europe but she hide away my international
passport and other valuable travelling documents. Luckily she did not
discover where I kept my Father's File which contains important documents.
So I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am presently seeking
asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee herein
Dakar, Republic of Senegal. I wish to contact you personally for a long
term business relationship and investment assistance in your Country.
My father of blessed memory deposited
the sum of US$7, 800, 000.00 in Bank with my name as the next of kin.
However, I shall forward you with the necessary
information of the deposit on confirmation of your acceptance to assist
me for the transfer and investment of the fund.As you will help
me in an investment, and i will like to complete my studies, as I was
in my ist year in the university, when the crisis started.
It is my intention to compensate you with 10% of the total money for
your services and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is
the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should
be through this email address only for confidential purposes.
As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I
will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above,
I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness
to handle this transaction sincerely.
I'm staying at the female hostel. Awaiting your urgent and positive
response. Please do keep this only to your self please I begg you not
to disclose it till I come over , once the fund has been transfered.
Greetings from Rose,

Dearest Visanu,
I just receive
this email now and do not know what the bank really mean. Do they request
all these documents from us before they will transfer the money? Please
let me understand what they really need from us because you no better
than me and i have the copy of my late father's certificate of death
but i do not have the Affidavit and power of attorney. Sir, how about
it? please i need to know what i can do here or can you ask the bank
to use their laywer to get us the papers from court? or should i search
for a lawyer here myself who can assist us? please let me know what
i can be doing because i am very happy to know that the bank are ready
to release my late father's money.
I am now praying
to God so that will join us together in short time because all my heart
is gone out of this refugee camp since i have the left inheritance which
can change my future life. Please i will be happy for you to try all
you can to let us get this money out for good life and education.
Take care and
i will be back to check on you.
Your's Lovely,
Miss. Rose Yomie.

Dear mr. Desmond Okiki
Thank you for your quick
reaction.
I have forwarded this
mail to Miss Rose J Yormie, to contact you, as soon as possible, she
is able to use a PC at the refugee camp. On the account number
ot her late father is tranferd 7.800.000 Dollar, ok let us now not speak
about the intrest. But I realy do not understand why in the world I
have to pay "only" 2,5550.00 euro, for cost while that money
is staying at your bank, all over the world banks take their expenses
automaticly. So the best ting you can do is contact miss Rose, and I
am sure she is willing to give you more money, just for your service.
Here is her E-mail address:
mss_rose800@yahoo.com
Or maybe better if you
visit her at the refugee camp.
Thank you again for your
quick reaction
Best regards Mr. Visanu
