- Good day dear and compliment of the year. Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory. We prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature and the recommendations given to us as a reputable and trust worthy person we can do business with and by their recommendations we must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.I am Raphael Kamara and my junior sister Juliet Kamara, the only child and daughter of late Mr and Mrs Chife Vincent Kamara My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus on a business deal.When my mother died on the 6th August 1996, my father took us special because we are motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of FIFTEEN Million US Dollars ($15.000.000.00) left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only Son for the next of kin in deposit of the fund and handed all the deposit documents to me.He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had, that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management or Five star hotel transport industry).Please, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways. 1)To receive the money for me in your account by providing a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.2)To serve as the guardian of this since I am a boy of 22 years and I do not have business experience.3)To help me come over to your country as soon as the money is transferred to your account so that we will continue our education and a new life. We have it in mind to give you 10% of the total sum(15 million US Dollars), and 10% share in any investment we will embark upon if you assist us. We will also set aside 5% of the funds for ancillary expenses which you will make in course of this transaction- fax messages, phone calls etc.This fortune we have revealed to you should remain confidential as it only you who we have told about it. Anticipating to hear from you quick plesae.Thanks and God Bless.Yours faithfully Raphael and Juliet Kamara
