Subject: from jacob
greetings,
I am jacob kamara the first son of Chief
mat kamara of mende tribe in LIBERIA.On the 16th June,
2004 my father was murdered by some rebel group on the
accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support
to restore the democratically elected President of
Charles Taylor.
Almost half of our palace was burnt. Fortunately I was
not in the place when they raided the palace,my father
married 2 wives with 4 children.The two wives, with 3
children where murdered in cold blood while i was not
around when the incident happen.Right now I am left
alone since the sudden assasination of my father and
the family.I have been displaced and totally
disorganized left with nothing and nobody to cater for
me since their deaths.
before his untimel death,when he came back from a business trip,he
gave me some document to keep for him as usual he told
me that he deposited 12.5million(Twelve Millions Five
Hundred Thousand American Dollars) and some killos of
gold in a metalic trunk box which he deposited with a
private security company in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire as a
family treasure.
I made arrangement with two peace keeping force to
help me to move out of the country, however i moved
out of LIBERIA successfully, to Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire
where I am now. I have gone and confirm at the
security company and the director told me that the box
is still in the their custody.
Now because of the recent political crisis and blood
shed in this country cote d ivoire so i dont want to
experience it again so I wish to transfer these box
containing the fund in the security company abroad and
enter into a business venture as the country (Côte
d’Ivoire)is no longer a peaceful country as it use to
be before,
This country has witness all sort of political unrest
ranging from ethnic clash which resulted to killing of
innocent citizens and strangers people are living in
fears as the country is no longer that peaceful nation
as it was before due to this reason I have decided to
contact you, to assist me to lift this my consignment
out of this country. Please I need your assistance.
1. Can you honestly help me ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is transfer to
your country?
4.Can you help me to come over to your country and
further my educational carrier?
5.Can you asure me of the confidentiality of this
transaction,So that when coming in to your country
there would not be focus of attention.
Waiting for your urgent reply from you and God bless
you and your house hold.
Thanks and have a nice day.
jacob
