From: KAMARA SOW <kamarasowed@yahoo.com>

Subject: Help Sir:
Dear Sir,
First and foremost, let me introduce myself to you. I am Mr.Kamara Sow, the first son of the late Dr Michael Sow. who was the executive director of quasi governmental co-operation and the proud owner of torger international diamond company in Sierra Leone. My father was shot by rebels while traveling to lusia, a sub city after Freetown the capital city of my country along with my sister; my sister died on the spot while the peace keeping force rescued my father but later gave up the ghost 3 months later.
Before the death of my father he revealed to me about boxes containing Gold and Diamond worth over $20.8million U.S dollars which he deposited as family valuables with a security company in Ghana and the content inside the boxes was not disclosed or made known to the security company to avoid the officials from raising eye brows.
Presently I and my mother are here in Accra Ghana, to notify the security company for claims, and we are staying in the refugee camp due to lack of fund. We want to carry the valuables out of Africa which we cannot do without the guidance of a foreigner, that is why I am using these medium to seek for a foreigner who can come down to Africa to stand as a beneficiary to assist us in carrying the valuables out of Africa for investment purpose oversea.
Sir, I will be very delightful if you can help and support my family in this transaction, we have all the vital documents covering the deposit of the boxes and the ownership certificate which I can send to you through fax, through my late father lawyer. If you are interested please send me your full names; your private fax contact and your mobile phone number. Please for security reasons these transaction is free- risk and you have to keep these transaction very confidential.
Truly,
Kamara Sow.
