From: LILIAN UMAH

Attn: Dearest friend.
CONFIDENTIAL
Dear, friend

I am LILIAN UMAH the only daugther of late former Director of finance, Chief
Umah. A .Joseph 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 fund acquired from the over influencing of price of
sales/purchasing of raw materials., now he has deposited the money with
an BANK in Abidjan BY FIXED DEPOSIT FORM, and he attached a strict
clause to the fund in racket(PAY AS RECEIVED), where I am residing under
political asylum. 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 in your private bank account, the
said amount is (Four Million Dollars) $4. Million. I am compensating you
with 15% of the total money amount, now all my hope is banked 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 Umah
gave me the photocopies of the certificate
of deposit issued to me by the bank on the date of deposit, and he called
me closer to his bed side before his call to glory(R.I.P)that i should pray
to god first, before contacting any foreigner and he warned me stricly that
i should avoid his brother with their greedy and evil mind since this is
the only legacy i am inheriting from him. Please, this is for you to be
clarified because, I do not expose my self to any body 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 email me immediately after 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 amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you
might incure during this transaction including your telephone calls.
N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities
which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred
to your account and you will be my guardian, personally I am interested
in estate management and hotel business, please advise me, email me back
immediately you receive this message for more explanation. And promise me
to be a father considering my situation and not to betray me.

Thanks and God bless
Best regards
LILIAN UMAH.

NB: my late father used me the daugther as the beneficiary / next of kin
on the day of deposit and also told me I need a foreign assistance of a
foreigner with a legitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary
and partner abroad.
Please give me your telephone number for pastor David my pastor to speak
to you.
