GREETINGS.
CONFIDENTIAL NOTICE.
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 aid/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 jerry kamara the only (adopted) son of the 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 favour 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 fathers 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 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
document which my late father left in the custody of his personal
attorney for safety which will enable to claim his acquisitions and also
funds in London incase of his death as his next of kin, with the divine
help of our gardener who revealed the evil plans of my uncles to me ,
he managed to help me escape from my country home (Sierra-Leone) to
London 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
here in London and start a new livelihood else where 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 to invest this fund in your
country. also you will be required to provide them with a safe offshore
account where the fund will be lodged into after I must have claimed it
from the Bank ,then we will make 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 bluchip
business where we can invest this money and run as partners. I am
presently interested in hotel business 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 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 through my private
mailbox ( jeery.kamara@yahoo.com) for confidentiality and introduce
yourself properly to enable me furnish you with more detail in regards to
this request, bear it in mind that I have all the document 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
jerry kamara
