Dear Sir,
I contact you in such a surprising manner, but I
respectfully insist that you read this letter
carefully as I am optimistic that it will open doors
for unimaginable financial reward for both of us. I
got your contact from the U.K chambers of commerce
when I was searching for a reliable person to assist
me, my younger sister who is 19yrs and my ageing
mother who is 68yrs, to help us stand as a beneficiary
on our behalf to receive our fund.
I am a citizen of Sierra-Leone, the first son of the
late personal assistant to the former Minister of
Land, Mines and Energy, Dr.Prince Bantu Camara, who
was killed by rebels during the war in Sierra-Leone.
Before my father’s death, he made my mother to
understand that he deposited some huge amount of
money which came from the proceeds and profit he made
from the sales of diamond and gold and gave my mother
all relevant documents of the consignment which he
deposited and declared (marked) as family treasure.
After his death, we were able to move out of
Sierra-Leone through the United Nation cargo ship that
conveys refugees from Freetown to Accra Ghana. My
father left behind physical cash of US$18.570M
(Eighteen Million Five Hundred And Seventy Thousand
United State Dollars) which he safely lodged in a
security company in United Kingdom (which is not
disclosed for security reasons) during his regime in
the office. But the content of the consignment is not
known by the company. This money is neither Drug nor
Terrorism money and does not in any way have link to
that.
Presently, my younger sister and I have moved to UK,
and the consignment is still with the Security Company
here in U.K awaiting for collection. I am hereby
soliciting your assistance to be my foreign partner
and adviser based on the following:
1) I do not know much about investment and we need you
to assist us for investment of this fund in your
country because am just 22yrs.
2) You will be entitled to “Fifteen percent” of the
total sum for your assistance.
3) While “Five percent” of the whole sum will be
mapped out for any expenses incurred in the course of
the transaction.
4) After the success of this transaction you are going
to make arrangement for my younger sister and I to
meet you over in your country for investment of the
fund. After which we will make an arrangement to bring
our mother from Africa.
Please, if you are in the best position to handle this
transaction, I therefore suggest we have an urgent
face-to-face meeting to discuss the modus operandi of
this transaction and commence immediately.
I know we have never met before, but I want to trust
you and please do not let me down when this fund
finally gets to your hand. Please if you are
interested, get back to me only through my
fax:+44 871 720 0379 and email address:
marasadija17@hotmail.com for security reasons to enable
me brief you with more details and all necessary
documentations.
Looking forward to hearing from you and your direct
telephone number for easy communication.
Thanks and God bless.
PRINCE MARA BANTU CAMARA (JR)
UNBEHALF OF THR FAMILY.
