Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. CAMARA JOY from Sierra-Leone. I am a widow being that I lost my
husband CHIEF MORIS CAMARA a couple of months ago. My husband was a serving
director of the Cocoa exporting board until his death . He was assassinated
last january by the rebels following the political uprising.
Before his death he travelled to Cote d' ivoire where he told the family
that he deposited 18.5 million USD in a Security Company in cote d' ivoire
,now we are looking for a God fearing person who will assist us and moved
this Consignment out of this Country.
Which he told the security company that was for the Family and for cocoa
processing machine. I want you to do me a favour to receive this Box 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 son, indicate your interest in replying
soonest.
Thanks and best
regards.
MRS CAMARA JOY AND SON
