Dear Friend

My name is Miss Alimatu Mane ,a Sierra Leonean residing in Burkina-Faso,West
Africa.I am 22years old You will be surprise to receive this mail from
a total stanger like me,Anyway, i got your contact through internet and
decided to approach you for assistance.

My father,the late Dr Aboumane Mane,was one of the prominent Diamond dealers
in my country Sierra Leone, he was also one of the paramont chiefs in my
town
before He was murdered in cold blood early last year alongside with my mother
by the Rebels of R.U.F when they invaded the town.

When i got home from school to see the remains of my late father and other
family members,i discovered that my home had been burnt down and my parents
were both murdered by the Rebels of R.U.F that has been fighting against
the legitimate Government in my country since 1992.

My late father deposited the sum of(USD$15million) as a FAMILY TREASURE
IN A TRUST COMPANY here in Burkina-Faso,West Africa before his untimely
death,this money was meant to be used to build an ultral mordern medical
Clinic here in Burkina-Faso for me after i shall have completed my studies
as a qualified Dorctor but untimely death of my parents have denied me
this good opportunity.

Now,as the next of kin and the only child,i have made claims of ownership
of the box containing the money although the people at the Trust Company
are not aware of the contents of the box,But i need a reliable person
outside Africa through whom i could move the money abroad and who will
subsequently help me to invest the money wisely while i go back to school
to complete my education.

Bear in mind that i would entrust this money in your hands if you would
be willing to help me in this matter. I am also willing to give you 25%
of the total sum if you will be willing to assist me in this matter.In
addition,i will equally deduct 5% after the transfer to cover expenses
incurred in the course of moving this money abroad to your account.
If you can assist,please get back to me promptly through my e-mail address
so that we can discuss the modalities of making this move. I will equally
insist that you make it a very private and confidential matter .

I look forward to hear from you soonest.
Kind Regards
Miss Alimatu Mane

alternative mail alimatu_m1@hotmail.com
