The writer of this scam tells a good story. Apparently his father has a friend who is a "trawler". Appropriate since this email is "fishing" for a victim. Don't be that victim. This is a scammer who wants to take your money from you. Ignore him.
INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
>From Mr. Tony Kamara
Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire.
Good day,
With due respect and humility I write you this proposal which I believe
would be of great interest to you. I am Mr. Tony Kamara a Sierra Leone
national and the son of late Dr. Lamine Kamara of blessed memory. My
father was the Director General National Gold Diamond Mining Corporation
of Sierra Leone before he was assassinated by the rebel forces loyal to
Mr. Foday Sankoh. Two days before my father was assassinated, he
instructed me to take my mother and my only brother Frank out of Sierra
Leone immediately, before the powerful Economic Community of West
African State (ECOMOG) forces intervened which eventually resulted into a
brutal civil war.
We managed to escape to Abidjan , the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire through
the help of my father’s friend who is a trawler. We came into Abidjan
with some valuables including a cash sum of US$38 Million ( Thirty Eight
Million United State Dollars Only) in trunk boxes which we deposited
with a private security company here in Abidjan-Cote d’Ivoire, though we
did not disclose the real content of the boxes to the security company,
we deposited the boxes as containing family valuables.
Right now I am in Sierra Leone to make sure that the killers of my
father will be brought to book but meanwhile, I want my brother Frank to
leave Cote d’Ivoire entirely and come to your country with this sum of
US$38 Million for investment. We really wants to invest this money in
your country because of the stability of Government, political and
economic welfare and as we all know, your country remains the window to
investment and that was why I am seeking for your assistance to help us
retrieve and move this fund to your account for investment purposes.
Note you are required to assist in the following areas: You are to
advise the best way to invest this fund in a viable venture over there
in your country though we will like to invest on Estate business. You
will advise on how best to transfer this fund to you. After this money
has been transferred to your account, you will send a letter of
invitation to enable my brother obtain a visa to come over there to meet
with you to enable us establish a personal contact and sign memorandum
of understanding (MOU) with contract agreement to ensure some amount of
confidence between us. We have it in mind to reward you handsomely for
your assistance. We are prepared to give you 20% of the total sum and
30% share in the total investment to be made.
If you are willing and capable to assist us achieve this transaction, do
not hesitate to reply this mail immediately you received it so as to
enable us proceed in Ernest towards concluding this transaction. Kindly

security reasons, ensure that no one else know about this fund.

Mr. Tony Kamara.
