Dear Friend,

I am John Kabala, from the Gambia West Africa former Head of Accounts Department at
the Diamond Mining Company of Sierra Leone. I and my partners (two others)
are in urgent need of a foreign associate to work with us to facilitate
the transfer of a large sum of money which we intend to invest into
profitable areas of business in your country.


The money involved is eighteen million five hundred thousand US Dollars.
I am writing to know if you could be our overseas associate to
handle the transaction privately at your end through your bank account.
We propose your commission shall be 20 per cent of the total money
been transferred.

I wait your response to provide you with more information.

Regards,
Mr John Kabala,
