ASYLUM CAMP Abidjan COTE D'IVOIRE Tel : 225-07-82-23-21
Attn: President/CEO
CONFIDENTIAL
I am well confident of your capability of executing this business for the mutual benefit of our both families, believing that you will not expose or betray the trust and confident I am about to repose on you.
I am contacting you with the greatest delight and personal respect. I am Stella Kamara, the first daugther of Chief Kamara Raymond former minister of Mineral Resources of the Republic of Sierra-Leone who was recently murdered by the Forces Loyal to Corporal Foday Sankoh, due to his support to the incumbent elected President Tejan Kabbah to remain in the office as reported on the cable Network News (CNN) and by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Two days before my father was assassinated, he confided in me and ordered me to go to his underground safe and moved out immediately with the deposit agreement and cash receipt he made with a Security Company in Abidjan where he deposited one trunk box which contains cash sum of US$30,000,000 (Thirty million United States Dollars).
I successfully smuggled out of the country to Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire with the help of some rebels loyal to My father and have gone to the Security Company with the deposit agreement to confirm the deposit myself and also I have been granted political stay by the government of Côte d'Ivoire.
Unknown to the Security company my father declared the contents of the trunk as African Artworks belonging to his foreign partner, that the keys are with him in order to prevent them from knowing the real content.
I am now seeking for your direct assistance to front you as the owner of the consignment and lift the fund out of this country to your base for onward profitable investment which necessitated my contacting you and you will have 13% out of the money.
We are to open a non residential bank account here in Abidjan in your name through which the fund will be remitting from to your bank account abroad and your reward for this noble assistance is under negotiable.
Further detail will be made known to you on confirmation of your interest to assist me towards this project. Contact me through the above telephone and fax numbers .
Expecting your immediate response.
Yours sincerely.
Stella Kamara
