WITH RESPECT,
I am Fred Kamara and My sister is Glad kamara ,
we are from Ivory Coast.Our parents Mr and Mrs David kamara
were assassinated by the rebels following the political uprising.
My father was a serving director of the Cocoa exporting board.
Before his death he had a foreign account here in Ivory Coast up
to the tune of $18.3 Million which he told the bank that it was
for the importation of cocoa processing machine. I want you to do
me a favour to receive these funds to a safe account in your
country or any safer place as the beneficiary. I have plans to do
investment in your country, like real estate and industrial
production.
This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing
to assist me and my only sister, indicate your interest in
replying
Thanks and best regards.
Fred kamara,Glad Kamara
