My Greetings,
How are you today and i hope you are fine? if so thanks be to god i know that this email will come to you as a surprise as we have not known our selfs before. I am Miss Christiana, the only daughter of col. Razak Mudiaga, one of the senior officials of revolutionary united front of sierra Leone (r.u.f) who died on 18/06/2002 with some of his colleagues during a cross fire battle between the (r.u.f) and the peace keeping force in sierra Leone.
Before my late father gave up in the hospital after the shot at him,he secretly called me on his bed side he told me about this money Eleven million United State Dollars.USD($11,000,000,000)he deposited in a private security company Here in Dakar Senegal the time he was posted here
He said that during the deposition of the box which is containing the money in the security company, that the box was declared as a family valuable properties not as money for security reasons best know to him. He told me that the money was meant for a hotelbusiness he planed to establish in Senegal and finally he gave me all the necessary documents Issued to him by the security company during the deposit of the box which will enable me claim the box from the security company. The following are the documents which my late father gave to me before he finally gave up: (i)Certificate of deposit (ii)Certificate Contract Agreement (3)Receipt of deposit payment.
Please, I want to use this opportunity to inform you that this money is the only hope we have for our future survival because after the death of my Father our relatives colaborated to confiscate all that our late Father left for us except this box money which they are not aware of and we can not fight them because we are females to confront them that is why we came down here in Senegal for the safety of our lives.
I will go into partnership with you in business and you will be the controller because i will continue my studies and that of my AGE mother, under care. However, my purpose of contacting you are as follows:
The most important thing for me now is the continuity of my education which was disrupted by the death of my beloved father.We look forward to living the rest of our life in your country under your care and guidance.

(3) To help us retrive these Box from the security company here in Senegal to your country. (4) To help us invest this money in your country or any other country of our choice. I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum money if you will assist us in good faith. I will be patiently waitting to hear from you soon. God bless you as you receive my email in good faith.
