Subject: MY CONFIDENT
From Mr I.Kamara
TEL +27 73 455 9099
DEAR ,
This letter was borne out of my sincere desire to establish a
business/mutual relationship with you. I got your contact through the
international trade and commerce (ITCC). My name is Ibram Kamara the son of late Chief Abraham P.Kamara (the former deputy minister of finance under the ousted civilian government) who was killed and mutilated by the military junta led by major,
Paul Koroma after overthrowing the elected government of president Tejan. Through, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and disturbance in Sierra-Leone but the pressure of war drove my mother and I out of Sierra -Leone into exile in South Africa where we have been living under political asylum for years. Sadly, my mother died of cancer 2 months ago and was buried here in South Africa . Prior to her death, she handed me over a certificate meant for a secret deposit, which my father made in a security/finance company in europe the deposit that worth US$25,000,000 ( Twenty five million U.S dollars) this was the money paid to his corporation by it's overseas customers in the heat of the conflict. He made the deposit in his name and also deposited it as a family tresures, with the hope of converting it to his personal use at the
end of the war but he was killed when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the rebel forces. I have contracted the Security/finance Company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership. Due to the death of my Mother, I have decided to solicit for the
participation of an honest and trustworthy person or company that will assist in acting as my representative who will jointly signed the agreement for the safe keeping of the money in the security/finance company. The security/finance company don't know the content of the consignment, they believe that it is African artefact. As contained in 2 trunk boxes.
Unfortunately, My mum who is surpose to assist me in releasing the
consignment has died of cancer that is why I am looking for your assistance.
I cannot do it alone due to my present social status and total ignorance of
the business world.
I shall also give you 20% of the funds for your assistance to relocate this fund to your country and for re-investment while the rest will be kept in any account of your choice for inverstmant purpose. i would have done the transfer myself as my name is written as the next of
kin,but because of my present status in this country as a refugee i will not
be allowed to handle such money or else it will be confisticated by the goverment if found in my possetion,and also i will not be allowed to open an account as a refugee not even to talk of inversting such an amount of money,these are the reasons why i need your assistance,If you are interested in helping me out of this my present situation, contact me immediately
through my email and i will funish you with other details you need to conclude this transaction.this transaction is absolutely risk free and of biliteral benefits as i have all neccesray legal documents backing it up.please get back to me with your full name,tel.no fax no and also your home addres so as to enable me introduce you to the security/finance company handling the consignment as my representative.after all these you will then
make an arrangement on how we are going to meet face to face and discuss in details.
Meanwhile,
I cannot travel out because i have no travelling documents for
now,i also hope that after everything you will secure a visa for me to join
you in your country so that i can continue my studies over there. I hope to
hear from you soon
Best regards,
MR IBRAM KAMARA
