Dear sir,

It is my pleasure to introduce you a business that will mark the beginning
of a family relationship. I got your contact during my search on a reliable
person who will assist me and has the capability to handle this project.

I am JAMES MOUKA the rightful inheritor to the throne of late KING
NIKE MOUKA the XI of MENDE DISTRICT in SIERRA LEONE. My father until
his death was the king of MENDE TRIBE IN SIERRA LEONE, a member of the then
ruling cabinet of president AHMED TEJAN KABBAH, and also one of the richest
diamond dealers in Sierra Leone.

On the 31 of december 1998 (on new year eve) my father was murdered by rebel
forces on the accusation that he is in support of the democratically elected
PRESIDENT ALHADJI TEJAN KABBAH.

My Uncle who is a supporter of the rebel took over control of leadership
by force. Fortunately, I was not in the palace when they raided.
married My father'and my two younger sisters were murdered in cold blood.
My mother was spared because my uncle informed them that she would lead
them to me. However she was seriously wounded on the 17th of April 1999,
my mother was rescued by the WEST AFRICAN PEACE KEEPING FORCES (ECOMOG)but
she later died in a hospital here in Abidjan after seveer illness.

Right now I am left alone, on my arrival here in Abidjan i met the senior
sister of my father who handed over to me documents covering a deposited
sum of US$7,500,000.00(SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) by my father with a bank in Abidjan the capital City of IVORY COAST
for his investment project in Europe.

Now I wish to commence business transaction with this fund and do not have
a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner to offer me the necessary investment
advice and as well help me in clearing of this fund from the bank as i no
longer wishes to stay in africa anymore.

For your assistance I have decided to bequest to you 15% of the total sum
involved and 10% for the total annual income of the investment.

I am seeking your assistance in the following ways :

1)PROVIDING AN ACCOUNT WHERE THIS FUND WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO.

2) INVESTING MY MONEY IN A LUCRATIVE AND BLUE CHIP VENTURES THAT YOU SHALL
ADVICE IN YOUR COUNTRY

3) GETTING AN ADMISSION FOR ME INTO A UNIVERSITY, SO THAT I CAN START UP
FROM WHERE I STOPPED MY EDUCATION IN YOUR COUNTRY

4)GETTING RESIDENT PERMITS

I want you to know that i have been to the bank where this fund is and the
bank have advised me to introduce the beneficiary's account where the fund
will be transferred,this was due to the agreement of deposit which was made
between them and my father on the day he deposited this fund my dad decleared
that the fund will be transferred to a foreign beneficiarys account for
investment purpose.

I want to remind you that this transaction is 100%risk free and demands
absolute discreet and confidentiality.

Please this is very urgent, as I want to hear from you immediately you receive
this mail.

I am looking forward to your urgent reply. My regards to your family.

Yours sincerely

JAMES MOUKA.
