Subject: FROM MARRIAM KAMARA.
Hello Dear,
Permit me to inform you my heart desire for a business relationship
with you. I got your contact when I was searching for a foreign
partner here in Abidjan republic of Cote D'Ivoire on my search for
honest and reliable person. I prayed over it and decided to
confide in you because of your integrity and educational
background.
I am Miss MARRIAM KAMARA,( 22 years old ),
the only daughter of late Dr and mrs Dikko kamara. My fatherwas a very
wealthy Gold/Diamond dealer in Free town, the economic capital of
Sierra leone.
My father was poisoned to death by his close business
associates on one of their outings on a business trip My mother died
when I was 9 years old and since then my father took
me so special.
Before the Death of My Father last year on August 19th 2004, in a
private hospital in Freetown, he secretly called me by his bed
side and told me of a deposit of 10,000,000,00 united state dollars
(NINE MILLION DOLLARS) he concealed in a metallic Box and deposited
with a Security Company in ( Dubai U A E ), not deposited as money
but as a family valuables on the 2nd of JANUARY 2003,that he used
my name been the daughter as the next of kin when he deposited the
money.
He told me that because of envy he was poisoned by his close
associates.
He also advised me to seek for an honest foreigner in a country of
my choice,
so that those associates will not hurt me as they have
succeeded in poisoning him, it has been difficult to know who is an
honest person to assist me in this transaction, and for me to
continue silent over looking for assistance while the DUMORAGE is
increasing, I decided to make a try from you, I arrived here
(ABIDJAN) in a nearby country on the 12th of July 2005 since my
uncle wants to kill me because of this certificate of depositsas he
have suceeded in collecting all my father's property left with this
money, They continuously mal-treated me, and have made life very
unbearable for me. The wife serve me a delicious poisoned rice meal
yesterday, but for the Devine mercy the daughter secretly whispered
to me not to eat the meal, I wasted the meal to the bin only to find
ten dead rat on the bin the following morning and that made me to
run away immediately. And i don't want to stay long here since I
know nobody or have much money to pay for hotel bill. Dear, I
honourably seek your assistance in the following ways:
1) To stand as my late father's foreign partner since my late
father deposited it to be cleared by his foreign partner and no
name was mentioned.
2) To provide an account where we can transfer this money.
3) To help me arrange for better establishment.
4) To help me come over to your country to further my education.
Please my intention is not to disturb your Peace,but because l am
sincerely in need, And desperately need a solution before my life
is wasted because there is war in this country. the most important
thing is for you to be aiding me as parent who will directing all
my affair. and all my doings in your country. Lastly ,you will
promise me that you will not betray or deny me if this my money
gets into your hands. Dear, I am ready to offer you 20% of the
total money for your help. But if you are not in better position to
help. Please let me know. So that I can look for another helper. I
am with the certificate of deposit upon demand. I am Looking
