FROM WISDOM AND ROSE KAMANI.
Avenu 12 Reu 47 ABIDJAN
DANANI REFUGEE CAMP, ABIDJAN
REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
Dearest One,
My name is WISDOM KAMANI and ROSE are the children
of Late General BENSON KAMANI the former Director of
military inteligence and special acting General
Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation(
SLDMC ). I am contacting you to seek your good
assistance to transfer and invest USD 16 million
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a
bank in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid
minirals and dimonds sale which were under my fathers
possession before the civil war broke out. Following
the break out of the war, almost all government
offices,coperations and parastatals were attacked and
vandalized.
The SLDMC was loothed and burnt down to ashes,and
diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by the
rebel military forces who attacked my fathers office.
Many top government officials and senior army officers
were assasinated and my father was a key target
because of his very sensitive military possition and
appointment in the SLDMC.Regreatably, my father was
captured and murdered along with half brother in cool
blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our
official residence in freetown was armbushed by Fordey
Sanko the notorious rebel leader. My mother
sustainded very sever bullet injuries which
resulted to her untimely and painful death in a
private hospital here in Ivory Coast.
Now we are alone in a totally strange country without
parents, relatives or any body to care for us at our
tender ages. Before our mother died, she told us that
our father deposited some money which he made from
diamond sales and contracts at this bank here in Ivory
Coast and that we should pray and find a trust worthy
foreign business partner who would help us to transfer
and invest this money in profitable business venture
overseas.
She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave
Ivory Coast with our cousin brother-Arthur who is here
in the camp with us and, then settle down abroad. She
gave us the bank document to prove the deposit and
then told us that my father used my name as the only
son to deposit the money in the bank.She told us that
this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My
mother died after wards. May her spirit rest in
perfect peace.
I have gone to the bank to make inquires about this
money and I spoke with the Manager of International
remittance who assured me that everything is intact
and promised to help me transfer this money to my
foreign partners bank account as soon as I provide my
partners foreign bank account for them. However, the
manager is very concerned because of my age. I am 23
years and as such advised that I should look for a
matured person that will represent me at
the bank.
If you are willing to assist us, please let us know
immediately so that you will arrange the transfer of
the money to your account with the bank.Please note
that I can only offer you 20% of the total money as
compensation for your noble assistance in accodiance
with my mothers advise. I am interested in any
profitable commercial venture which you consider very
good in your country and you would also get a school
for me, my little sister and cousin so that we can
finish our college education.
Please there is urgent need for the money to be
transferred to your account because of the political
crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am
hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can not
look for another foreign partner.Thank you and may
God bless you and
your dear family.
Yours sincerely
WISDOM / Rose KAMANI.
