Subject: THANKS

Sir,
I know this proposal letter might be a surprise to
you, but do consider it as an emergency , in a nut
shell, I am Mr Kamara D Ekomah Sierra Leonean,born 29
years ago ,now seeking asylum in Paris France
My father (late) Dr Fall Ekomah was the Managing Director of Gold and Diamond Minning Company in(KENEMA) Sierra-Leone, but during the civil war My father was killed and his properties destroyed , but we (my mother and myself) manage to escape with some of my father's precious properties (DIAMONDS)which is now safely deposited in a high security and finance company here in Dakar that have affiliates in London,England ,Paris,France and Spain . as a family treasure .
However , we are saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality to help us transfer the diamonds which weighs 12.126carats to your posession in order to market it there and invest the money raise from the Diamond overthere.Now that am presently in Paris I will like us to see face to face so that we can discuss on how to retrieve this diamonds.
Furthermore , I only want this done this way because your country is politically stable for any profitable investment and I also want to add here that if accepted by you ,you will serve as the original beneficiary of the diamonds and also the president of any investment recommended ,because I am a complete stranger in international business.
I feel confident therefore, to introduce this offer to you , for your participation and assistance , I have decided to give you 25% (percent) of the total money from the sales of the diamonds, and 10% (percent)
mapped out for any miscellaneous expenses that may occur during the transfer of the diamond to your possesion.
Finally ,All the documents covering the Diamonds are under my custody such as copy of certificate of ownership ,certificate of deposit bond receipt of the security and finance company.
Awaiting your earnest response With regards.
Regards
Mr,Kamara D Ekomah
