CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
I am JAMES KAMARA the only son of late former Director of finance,Chief
Vincent Kamara of Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation.
I must confess that my agitation is real, and my words is my bond in
this proposal. My late father diverted this money meant for purchase of
ammunition, for my country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in
my country, now he deposited the money with a local bank here in Abidjan
where
I am presently residing under political asylum with my younger sister
here in Abidjan, Ivory Coat.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
present government of Sierra Leone have 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, and all I need
from you is for you to stand as our late father's business associate and
foreign partner who wants to assist us invest our funds in your
country.Also you will be required to provide us with a safe offshore account
where the fund will be lodged into after you must have claimed it from
the Finance house.The said amount is (Nine Million Dollars) $9 Million.
I am compensating you with 15 % of the total money amount, now all my
hope is banked on you and I really want to invest this money in your
country,where 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 on the
day he made the deposit. 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 get back to me via my private email - (james_1sis@yahoo.fr) immediately
after you must have gone through my message
fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 %
of the total amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you
might incure during this transaction.
N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment
opportunities which is risk free where I can invest with this money
when it is transferred to your account. Personally I am interested in
estate management and hotel business, please advise me.Also you have to
promise me and my younger sister that you will not betray us or sit on these
funds once they arrive into your care and also to be our guardian
considering our age, and situation .
Thanks and God bless
Best regards
JAMES KAMARA
