Subject: Please Your assistant is nedeed for urgent Transfer
Dear friend,
It is my humble pleasure to write you this important
letter, irrespective of the fact that we have not met
for the first time or known each other before.
However, I was able to get your contact through an
international profile in my earnest search for a
reliable and trustworthy person, firm, or group of
persons that can handle this confidential transaction
with me.
My name is Peter Camara, the son of Dr Steven Camara
(A know business man who was shot in the free town city of sierra leone.
My father was killed and
mutilated by the military junta led by Major Foday
Sankoh after overthrowing the elected government of
President Tejan Kabah,
Though I do not know to what extent you are familiar
with this events and disturbances in Sierra Leone but
it has consistent features in news and bulletins. The
pressure of war drove the rest of our family out of
Sierra Leone into exile where we have been living under political asylum
till today.
I am now here with my little sister,
REASON OF CONTACTING YOU: I hereby inform you that before the death of my
Father he handed over to
me and my mother a certificate document
meant for a secret deposited trunk
box which he made in a security company,
and he disclosed to me and my mother that the trunk box contains
US$10,000.000.00 (TEN MILLIONS UNITED STATES DOLLARS}withholding the truth
of the real content for security reasons, even the Security Firm is not
aware that the boxes contains Money till now.
The box that contianed this money was deposited into a private finance
company under his name by it's overseas customers in the heat of the war.
He made the deposit in his name with the hope
to make investment with the money after the end of the war but
unfortunately my father was killed when the conflict intensified as a result
of his opposition to the rebel forces.
I have contacted the Security Company to confirm the deposit and
established ownership. I have decided to solicit for the assistance of an
honest and trustworthy person that will assist me in the withdrawal of the
trunk boxes for investment purposes.
I cannot do it alone due to my present status and
total ignorance in business and investment world. You
will be given a negotiable percentage of the money at
the end of the transaction. If you are trustworthy and
interested in the proposal, contact me immediately for
more details.
Endeavor to include your personal/private telephone and fax number when
replying to maintain absolute
confidentiality to ensure success.
Please kindly reply to my private email box:
petercamara1@netscape.net
Best regards,
Truely Tom Camara.
N/B: Please I want this transfer negotiation to be between me you and my
family because I do not a situation whereby we call so much to the awareness
to this.
