DEAR,



I got your contact from the International Economic /

Business Directory in Cote d'Ivoire. I consider your

company extremely capable in handling this mutual

business transaction I wish to undertake with you. As

a result of my zeal towards foreign investment and

also security for my life and possession, I therefore

wish to give an insight of my purpose of contacting

you.



I was the personal confidant to the ousted military

head of state of Sierra Leone (MAJOR JOHNNY KOROMAH).

However, when the ECOMOG peace keeping force struck,

his excellence was forced to run into Liberia on exile

while some of his aides left for some other

neighbouring countries.



While these events took place, I decided to move to

Côte d?Ivoire with my family and a total sum of

thirty million US dollars (US$30,000,000) which was

the part of cash under my control within the

presidential mansion when I was in change of

securities. On getting to Abidjan, I immediately

deposited the fund in a bank in Abidjan the economic capital of Cote

D'Ivoire.



Consequently, I sincerely implore you as a partner to

arrange an avenue which this money could be

transferred to you for investment purposes and in

order to actualise this investment proposal. You are

implored to assist in the following.



1)You are required to provide a safe foreign bank

accounts into which the money could be transferred.

2)You shall serve as a general overseer and guardian

of this fund and all the investments thereafter.

3)And you shall benefit 20% of the total sum for your

efforts and absolute assistance in ensuring that this

fund is successfully transferred into your accounts

and as well as 5% of every monthly profit out of all

investments.



Having stated the above clearly, I expect your soonest

response through this mail number kampala09@zwallet.com

Please also endeavour to treat this business

transaction as highly confidential.



Yours truly,



L.T. J.N. KAMPALA
