Dear Sir,

I am koffi KAMARA the son of late former Director of
finance, Chief Vincent R. Kamara Sierra-Leone diamond and
mining corporation. I must confess my agitation is real,
and my words is my bond, in this proposal. My late father
diverted this money eant for purchase of
ammunition, for my country, during the civil war in my
country, now he had deposited the money with BANK in
Abidjan, where I am residing under political asylum with my
younger sister who is 17years old. Now the war in my
country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers,
the present government of Sierra Leone has revoked the
passport of all officers who served under the former regime
and now ask countries
to expel such person at the same time freeze their account
and confiscate their asset, it is on this note that I am
contacting you, all I needed from you is to furnish me with
your bank particulars:
1) Account name,
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number

For you to assist me transfer this money into your private
bank account, the said amount is USD25Million. I am
compensating you with 15% of the total money amount, now
all my hope is on you and I really wants to invest this
money in your country, were their
is stability of Government, political and economic welfare.
Honestly I want you to believe that This transaction is
real and never a joke. My late father Chief Kamara gave me
the photocopies of the ertificate of deposit issued to him
by BANK on the date of eposit,
and he wanted to transfer this money with the istance of a
foreigner as the beneficiary of the fund, for you to be
clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody I see,
I believe that you are able to keep this transaction secret
for me because this money
is the hope of my life, it is important. Please call me
immediately you must have gone through my message fill free
and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you
15% of the total money and 5% percent for expenses, and in
case of any other necessary expenses
you might incur during this transaction.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue cheep
investment opportunities which is risky free which I can
invest with this money when it is transferred to your
account, personally I am interested in estate management
and hotel business. email me immediately you receive this
message for more explanation. And promise me my younger
sister to be a father considering
our situation and not to betray us.

Thanks and God bless you
bless, Best regards

KOFFI KAMARA JULIETTE KAMARA.

Dude how gullible do you have to be to fall for this?

[sh@dow]

I wouldnt be suprised if atleast 1 person fell for it though

[Ulysses]

Unfortunately quite a number of similar scams have taken place over the last few years, some with varying degrees of sucess.

There is one maxim in business (or life) that everyone should take heed of.

"If something is too good to be true? then invariably it is"

i get that one every week. ive seen it before on the news. YES people fall for that.

People fall for ANYTHING.

Almost.

Yay for Nigerian bank scams! Btw, if you go to search for threads, you can find a, "What is your favorite nigerian banks scam?"
