FROM BRIGHT KAMARA
Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire

Tel: +22507100889


My Dear Friend,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you.

I am MR BRIGHT KAMARA , the only son of late MR and MRS MONGA KAMARA .
My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital
of IvoryCoast, my father was poisoned to death by his business
associates in one of their outings on a business trip.

My mother died when I was a baby and since then, my father took me so special.

Before the death of my father on January 2004 in a private hospital
here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he
has the sum of Five million, five hundred thousand US dollars (US$5,500,000)
left in a fixed / suspense account in one of the prime banks here in Abidjan,
that he used my name as his only son for the next of kin in depositing the
fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned
by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in
a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment
purpose such as real estate management or hotel management.

Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
1) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 18years old
2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
my education and to secure a resident permit for me in your country.

Moreover Sir, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation
for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund into your
nominated account overseas and 5% for expenses.

Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe
that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify
interest to assist me.

Anticipating to hear from you soon.

Thanks and God bless!
