Subject: urgent

Please I am CHARLY KAMARA, the only son oflate CHIEF VINCENT KONE KAMARA
from Sierra Leone. I got your contact from the Ecowas Infomation Center
in Cote d'Ivoire. My sources of your contact gave me the courage and confidence
to rely on you.

I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance
to transfer our cash of TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND United States
dollars$10.5,000,000.00) now in the custody of a BANK here in Abidjan to
your private account pending our arrival to your country.

SOURCE OF THE MONEY

My late father, chief Vincent Kamara, a native of mende district in the
Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the general Manager of Sierra Leone
mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown.According to my father.
This money was the income accrued from mining co-operation's over draft
and minor sales.

Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of major Paul
Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost
destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of the Civilian
Elected President AhmedTejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already
made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and myself
to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire with our ersonal effects

My father deposited the fund for the safe custody until after the war when
he will join us. During the war in my country, and following the indiscriminate
looting of public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the sierra
Leone mining co-op was one of the targets looted and destroyed.

My father including other top Government functionaries were attacked and
killed by the rebels in November 1999 because of his relationship with the,civilian
Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father death,and with
the news of my uncles involvement in air crash in January, dashed our

hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mothers heart failure
and other related complications of which she later died in the hospital
After we must have spent a lot of money on her.
Now my 16-year-old sister and myself are alone in this strange country suffering
without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees,and
orphans.

Our only hope now is in the fund our father deposited in the BANK.
To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.

To assist me claim this fund from the BANK as co-eficiary.
To transfer this money in your name to your country. To make a good arrangement
for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country with you as
the caretaker.

To secure a college for my little sister and my self in your
country to further our education.
And to make arrangement for our travel to your country after you have transferred
this fund. Most importantly. The whole documents issued after deposit is
in my custody. For your assistance, I beg to concede 10% of this money to
you for your assistance .
Best regards
