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
Leon emining 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 almostdestroyed 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 .
