From: "ibram kamara" <ibram_kamara05@hotmail.com>
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 08:33:47 +0000
Subject: MY CONFIDENT
TEL +27 83 486 2761
DEAR ,
This letter was borne out of my sincere desire to establish a
business/mutual relationship with you. I got your contact through the
international trade and commerce (ITCC).
My name is Ibram Kamara the son of late Chief Abraham P.Kamara (the
former
deputy minister of finance under the ousted civilian government) who
was
killed and mutilated by the military junta led by major, Paul Koroma
after
overthrowing the elected government of president Tejan. Through, I do
not
know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbance in
Sierra-Leone but the pressure of war drove my mother and I out of
Sierra
-Leone into exile in South Africa where we have been living under
political
asylum for years.
Sadly, my mother died of cancer 2 months ago and was buried here in
South
Africa . Prior to her death, she handed me over a certificate meant
for
a
secret deposit, which my father made in a security/finance company in
europe
the deposit that worth US$25,000,000 ( Twenty five million U.S
dollars)
this
was the money paid to his corporation by it's overseas customers in
the
heat
of the conflict. He made the deposit in his name and also deposited it
as
a
family tresures, with the hope of converting it to his personal use at
the
end of the war but he was killed when the conflict intensified as a
result
of his opposition to the rebel forces. I have contracted the
Security/finance Company to confirm the deposit and establish
ownership.
Due to the death of my Mother, I have decided to solicit for the
participation of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will
assist in acting as my representative who will jointly signed the
agreement
for the safe keeping of the money in the security/finance company. The
security/finance company don't know the content of the consignment,
they
believe that it is African artefact. As contained in 2 trunk boxes.
Unfortunately, My mum who is surpose to assist me in releasing the
consignment has died of cancer that is why I am looking for your
assistance.
I cannot do it alone due to my present social status and total
ignorance
of
the business world. I shall also give you 20% of the funds for your
assistance to relocate this fund to your country and for re-investment
while
the rest will be kept in any account of your choice for inverstmant
purpose.
i would have done the transfer myself as my name is written as the
next
of
kin,but because of my present status in this country as a refugee i
will
not
be allowed to handle such money or else it will be confisticated by
the
goverment if found in my possetion,and also i will not be allowed to
open
an
account as a refugee not even to talk of inversting such an amount of
money,these are the reasons why i need your assistance,If you are
interested
in helping me out of this my present situation, contact me immediately
through my email and i will funish you with other details you need to
conclude this transaction.this transaction is absolutely risk free and
of
biliteral benefits as i have all neccesray legal documents backing it
up.please get back to me with your full name,tel.no fax no and also
your
home addres so as to enable me introduce you to the security/finance
company
handling the consignment as my representative.after all these you will
then
make an arrangement on how we are going to meet face to face and
discuss
in
details.
Meanwhile, I cannot travel out because i have no travelling documents
for
now,i also hope that after everything you will secure a visa for me to
join
you in your country so that i can continue my studies over there. I
hope
to
hear from you soon
Best regards,
MR IBRAM KAMARA
