Dearest ,
Permit me to introduce my self, I am Mr kingsley kamala, the only son of
late chief Alex kamala from Sierra Leone. I got your contact from the internet
search,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 United States Dollars($10,000,000.00) now in the custody
of a BANK here in Abidjan to your private account pending our arrival to
your country.
My late father, chief Alex kamala, 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 Ahmed Tejan 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 personal 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 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 18-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-beneficiary. 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 25 % of this money to you for your
assistance.
Best regards
kingsley kamala and Sister
