CONFIDENTIAL


Dear Friend,

I am CHARLES KAMARA the only son of late former Director of finance,Chief
Vincent U Kamara Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation.I must confess
my agitation is real, and my words is 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 here in Abidjan BY FIXED DEPOSIT FORM,and he attached a strict clause
to the fund in bracket(PAY AS RECEIVED), where I am residing under political
assylum with my younger sister maureen, 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 asset, 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 For you to assist me transfer
this money in your private bank account, the said amount is (Twenty seven
Million Dollars) $27 Million.

I am compensating you with 12% 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 me by BANK on the date of deposit, and he called me
closer to his bed side before his call to glory(R.I.P) that i should pray
to God first, before contacting any foreginer and he warned me stricly that
i should avoid afican men with their greedy and evil mind since this is
the only legacy we are inheriting from him.SIR,this is for you to be clarified
because, I do not expose my self 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 call me ++225 07495921 immediately after you must have gone through
my message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered
you 12 % of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses
you might incure during this transaction inluding your telephone calls.


N.B
Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities
which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred
to your account and you will be our guiardian,
personally I am interested in estate

management and hotel business, please try to reply me immediately you receive
this message for more explanation.And promisse me and maureen my younger
sister to be a father considering our situation and not to betray us.

Thanks and God bless Best regards


CHARLES AND MAUREEN KAMARA.

NB: my late father used me the only son as the beneficiary /next of kin
on the day of deposit and also told me I need a foreign assistance of a
foreigner with a legitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary
and partner abroad.
