Dear Sir,
I am Miss Faith Camara, a Sierra Leonean residing in Dakar Senegal, West Africa. You will be surprise to receive this mail from a total stranger like me, Anyway, I got your contact while seacing for a reliable some body to help us and I decided to approach you for assistance.
My father late Anthony Camara was one of the prominent Gold & Diamond dealers in my country Sierra Leone, also the traditional ruler of my home town before He was murdered in cold blood early last two years alongside with my mother by the Rebels of R.U.F when they invaded the town. When I got home from school to see the remains of my late father and other family members,I discovered that my home had been burnt down and my parents were both murdered by the Rebels of R.U.F that has been fighting against the legitimate Government in my country since 1992.
My late father deposited the sum of $11,500.000USD(ELEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR) as a Family treasure in Finance and Security Service Dakar-Senegal, before his untimely death,this money was meant to be use to build an Ultral Mordern Medical Clinic here in Dakar Senegal for me and my brother after We shall have completed our studies but untimely death of our parents have denied us this good opportunity. Now,as the remaining body of the family also next of kin to benefit this money, We have made up our mind I and my younger brother( Benson Camara) to foward claims of ownership of the box containing the money with the Security Company, but We need a reliable person through whom we could move the money abroad and who will subsequently help us to invest this money wisely while I go back to school to complete my education.
Bear in mind that We would entrust this money in your hands if you would be willing to help us in this matter I have negotiated with my younger brother to give you 20% of the total sum if you will assist us. please get back to me promptly so that we can discuss the modalities of making this smoothly. I will equally insist that you make it a very private and confidentil matter please. I look forward to hear from you soonest.
Kind Regard,
Miss Faith Camara .
