Subject: FROM Markson Kamara
DEAR
I am Markson Kamara the only son of late former Director of finance, Chief
Vincent R. Kamara of Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation. I must
confess my agitation is real, and my words are my bond in this proposal.
My late father diverted this fund acquired from the over influencing of
price of sales/purchasing of raw materials., now he has deposited the
money with a BANK IN ABIDJAN BY FIXED DEPOSIT FORM, where I am residing
under political asylum with my younger sister Juliet who is 17 years old.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers,
the present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all
officers who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel
such person at the same time, freeze their account and confiscate their
assets, it is on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you
is to furnish me with your bank particulars: 1) Account
name 2) Account number 3) Bank address, telephone and fax number to enable
me transfer this money in your private bank account, the said amount is
(Sixteen Million Dollars) $16. Million. I am compensating you with 30%
of the total money amount, now all my hope is banked on you and I really
wants to invest this money in your country, were their is stability of
Government, political and economic welfare. Honestly I want you to believe
that this transaction is real and never a joke. My late father Chief
Kamara gave me the photocopies of the certificate of deposit issued to him
by the BANK IN ABIDJAN on the date of deposit, and he called me closer to
his bed side before his call to glory (RIP) that I should pray to God
first, before contacting any foreigner and he warned me strictly not to
deal with a greedy and evil minded people since this is the only legacy we
are inheriting from him. Please, for you to be clarified because, I do
not
expose myself to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to keep this
transaction secret for me because this money is the hope of my life, it is
important. Please contact me immediately after you must have gone through
my message, and feel free to make it urgent. That is the reason why I
offered you 30 % of the total amount, and in case of any other necessary
expenses you might insure during this transaction including your telephone
calls. N.B: Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip
investment opportunities which is risk free that I can invest with this
money when it is transferred to your account, and you will be our
guardian, personally I am interested in estate management and hotel
business, please advise me. Contact me immediately you receive this
message for more explanation. And promise me and Juliet my younger sister
to be a father considering our situation and not to betray us. Thanks
and God bless Best regards
Markson and Juliet Kamara
