Subject: Greetings
Dear sir,
I am Miss Marina Kamara, the only Daughter of late Mr. Hassan Kamara. My father was a very wealthy Gold and Cocoa Merchant,my father was poisoned by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip which he died after a brief illness in the hospital.
Before the death of my father he secretly called me to his bedside and told me that he has the sum of US$8.5M(Eight million five hundred thousand united states dollars) left in one of the prime Banks, he gave me the Deposit Receipt which he used to deposit the fund together with the full contact information of the bank where the fund is deposited and adviced me to search for a reliable person who will help me for the investment of the fund.
Please I am honourably seeking your assistance to help me transfer this fund to your account and invest it in any lucrative business of your choice then make arrangement for me to come over to your country to continue my Education.
Please I am waiting anxiously for your urgent response. Thanks and God bless you. Best regards, Miss Marina Kamara
