I am Markson Sunday Kamara the only son of late former Director of finance,
Chief Vincent Kamara Sierra-Leone diamond and Mining Corporation. I must
confess my agitation is real, and my word is my bond, in this proposal.

country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my country, now he has
deposited the money with Bank in Abidjan, where I am residing under
political asylum with my younger sister.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the passport of all officers
who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel such
person at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their asset, it
is on this note that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to
furnish me with your bank particulars:
1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number.
For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account, the
said amount is (Nine Million Dollars) $9 Million. I am compensating you with
25 % of the total money amount, now all my hope is banked on you and I
really wants to invest this money in your country, were there
is stability of Government, political and economic welfare.
Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is real and never a
joke. My late father Chief Kamara gave me the photocopies of the certificate
of deposit issued to him by Bank on the date of deposit, for you to be
clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that
you are able to keep his transaction secret for me because this money is the
hope of my life, it is important.
I will like to hear from you immediately after you must have gone through my
message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you
25 % of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses
you might incur during this transaction.
