Subject: CONFIDENTIAL REQUEST,JAMES KAMARA
Greetings.
CONFIDENTIAL REQUEST,
I am pleased to send my compliments to you. I know that this Letter will
definitely come to you as a surprise but please do accept it as a request
from a victim of circumstance; I Actually came about your contact through
the internet directory as I was searching for a reliable, trustworthy and
confidential individual who can be of aide/assistance to me. I hope my
medium of contact to you will not in any way contravene your ethics of
better judgement.let me first introduce my humble self and identity.
I am JAMES KAMARA, the only (adopted) son of late former Director of
finance, Chief Vincent Kamara of Sierra-Leone diamond and Mining
Corporation. I must confess that my agitation is real, and my word is my
bond in this request. since the death of my father, his immediate family (my
supposed uncles) are trying to terminate my life because of their sheer
wickedness and jealousy because my late father "WILLED" all his
wealth/acquisitions to my favor as the only son but they are not happy about
this because I am an adopted child so they now see me as an outcast who
should not be entitled to any reasonable assets in the family.
Now before my father’s death he deposited some funds amounting to $9m (nine
million dollars) in a Foreign Bank in London (UK) because he could not safe
keep such amount in our country’s bank because of his work status in the
government. now I have in my possession the legal copy of my fathers "WILL"
and the photocopies of the certificate of deposit issued to him by the bank
on the day he made the deposit and some other vital documents which my late
father left in the custody of his personal attorney for safety which will
enable me to claim his acquisitions and also the funds in London incase of
his death as his next of kin. with the divine help of our Gardner who
revealed the evil plans of my uncles to me, he managed to help me to escape
from my country home (Sierra-Leone) to Malaysia where I am presently
residing in one of the refugee camps so as to find a way to, transfer this
money my father deposited with the bank in London and start a new livelihood
elsewhere and also finish my education. It is on this note that I am
contacting you, and all I need from you is for you to stand as my late
father's business associate and foreign partner who wants to assist me
invest this funds in your country. Also you will be required to provide them
with a safe offshore account where the fund will be lodged into after we
must have claimed it from the Bank, then we will make an arrangement how I
will come over to your country and invest the money where I believe that
there is stability of economy and government.
I will be compensating you for your trust and assistance with 15% of the
total sum, after which you will help me look out for a good blucher
business where we can invest this money and run as partners, I am presently
interested in hotel business and real estate investment because it was
what my late father planned to invest the money on after retirement before
he died, so please do advice me on this accordingly. once more I beg you
not to cheat or sit on this fund once it is transferred to your account
because
it is my only hope and means of survival; please do contact me
immediately and introduce yourself properly to enable me furnish you with
more details in regards to this request. bear it in mind that I have all the
documents that
will enable the Bank transfer the money to any given account that is been
introduced by me for the money transfer. I sincerely wish that you will
be my guardian henceforth considering my age and present situation, thanks
and may the almighty lord bless you.
I await your prompt response
Kind Regards,
JAMES KAMARA
