Attn: President/ Director
CONFIDENTIAL
I am Bright Kamara the only son of late former Director of finance, Chief
Vincent R. Kamara Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation. 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, now he has deposited
the money with a BANK here in Abidjan, where I am residing under political
Assylum with my younger sister Mary Kamara who is 15 years old.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
present government of Sierra Leone 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 asset, it is
on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to furnish
me with your bank particulars:
1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number
4) your private telephone /fax numbers
For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account, the
said amount is Seventheen Million Dollars (US$17.000.000.00 Million). I
am compensating you with 15 % of the total money amount, now all my hope
is banked on you and I really wants 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 Chief Vincent gave me the deposit slip issued to him
by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to be clarify 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,
it is important.
Please write me immediately after you must have gone through my message
fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 %
of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you
might incure, I am resolving to give you an addition of 2% during this transaction.
N.B Try and 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 me. And promise me and my younger sister to be our
guardian considering our situation and not to betray us.
And my late father used me the only son as the beneficiary / 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.
Thanks and God bless
Yours truly
Bright and Mary Kamara
