Subject: Warm Regards VICTIMNAME
BUJUMBURAH REFUGEE CAMP.
ACCRA GHANA, WEST AFRICA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VICTIMNAME ,
With the good reference made of your esteemed Person/Office by The Charity
Organizations volunteer although I did not disclose my intentions of
reaching you. I hereby wish to commence talks with you on a high
confidential level.
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail since I did
not seek your prior-consent before writing you. I am SYLVA KAMARAH (Sierra
Leone/ West Africa) by Nationality and presently staying with my younger
brother and mother in a refugee camp here in Accra-Ghana.
My father was a Paramount Chief of a rich diamond district during President
Ahmed Tidjan Kabba. During but due to the political instability in my
country, my father was captured and killed by the Junta rebels who accused
him of mis-appropriate of funds and embezzlement. He was falsely accused.
Shortly after my father's death, I and the rest of the family escaped to
Ghana for safety. However in Ghana, my mother showed me some documents
indicating that my father kept $12.6 Million of U.S Dollars in a
Finance/Security Company in Accra Ghana. At the moment, I and my mother are
soliciting for your assistance to arrange an account in your name as our
family friend to make way for the transfer and resettlement of this fund in
a wise/politically stable economy like your country for a viable investment
after we must have collected it from the
Company.
Your assistance is required because our status as refugees does not permit
us to run an account; you will also be expected to provide us with
Information on investment opportunities in your country. We do not wish to
contact any of my fathers business partner because we do not know who
exactly caused his death.
My main reason of contacting you is for your co-operation. For you to assist
the family in removing this Fund out of the finance home in your favor and
ours as well. Moreover to help us use the Fund carefully for investment. All
the necessary documents are at my reach. We confide in you as a trust-worthy
person to act on good faith. Finally and most important, how will I be rest
assured that you will act on good faith?
Since your particulars will appear on every vital documents as the owner of
the Fund. Kindly let me know the mode of assistance you want to offer, if in
form of a contract or agreement? If so then let me know how many % you think
that you deserve in this transaction. Please let me know so as to avoid any
form of greed or getting ambitious. If the % you require is not ideal on my
side then we re-negotiate or call it a day.
Yours sincerely
SYLVA KAMARAH
