From David and Gift
Dear Fellow,
I am David Johnson Kamara the only son of late former Director of finance, Dr
Johnson
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 ofdisastrous civil war in my country, now he has deposited the
money
with BANK here in Senegal, where I am residing under political Assylum
with
my younger sister Gift.Kamara.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 numbers
4) your private telephone /fax numbers
For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account,
the
said amount is (US$24.000.000.00 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 Dr Johnson Kamara 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 5% 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
guardianconsidering 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 to look 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.Please
we waiting to hear from you thanks and God bless you.
