Dear Sir,
With due respect,trust and humility, I write you this
proposal which I believe, would be of great intrest to
you. I am MRS BLESSING KAMARA, the wife of the late
MR.JOSEPH AMANDO KAMARA of blessed memory.
Before my husband was killed by forces loyal to MAJOR
JOHN PUAL KOROMAH, he was the Director General of Gold
& Diamond Mining Corporation (G.D.M.C) of SIERRA
LEONE. My husband was unfortunatly one of the main
classes of people targeted by the rebel force in the
course of the revolution.
Two days before his death, he managed to sneak a
written message to us, explaining his condition and
concerning a truck box of valuables containing money
which he deposited with a private security and Finance
Company in (Accra-Ghana).He instructed me to take our
two sons and move out of Sierra Leone immediately to
Accra-Ghana before the peace keeping Force of the
economic community of west African States will
(ECOMOG) monitoring team intervened to arrest the
situation of mass killings by the rebels which was the
other of the day.Eventually, it resulted to full war.
I became a widow overnight,helpless situation without
a partner. At the moment of calamity, everybody was
running for his/her life.
In the content of the deed he signed with the security
company he used the name of his son MR.VICTOR . KAMARA

not disclosed to the security company due to security
reasons. Now we as refugee,

million)Eighteen million five hundred thousand United
States Dollars.
I want you to assist us to claim this box from the
security company and get the money deposited in a

after you order the bank to transfer the money into a
private account in your country, We shall also source

wisely.We have in mind to establish a rewarding
investment and good relationship with you.
Concerning the money,we are prepared to give you a
reasonable percentage of 10%(US$1.85million) the total
sum proceeds.
Meanwhile 2% (US$370,000.00) has been mapped out for
the expenses that may be incurred in the course of
this transaction and 88% (US$16.28million) will be for
my family. For the intrest of the business, do not
