Salaam Alaikoum My Dearest one,

Based on the information and recommendation I got about quick growth
of
business, investment and Brantford Brant Chamber of Commerce n your country, I deemed it necessary to
write and inform you about my interest to invest in any viable venture
in joint partnership with you. I am Miss Zeinab Kone the first daughter of
H.R.H CHIEF (ALAHAJI USMAN KONE ) of (blessed memory) the ex- king of DANFO tribe in the easthern part of SUDAN. I am 23 years old.

On the 19th May, 2000 my Father was murdered by some rebel group on
the
accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the
democratically elected President of my country Sudan. Almost half of
our
palace was burnt. Fortunately I was not in the place when they raided
the
palace my Father married 4 wives with 16 children two of the wives,
with my
3 brother where murdered in cold blood while my twine brother escape
the
incident with bullet wounds on his right leg, at themoment where the
remaining families are I don't know their way about wheather they are
alive
or not. Right now I am left alone with only one brother since the
sudden
assassination of my Father my family has been displaced and totally
disorganized left with nothing.

That was how my Father was killed,Before the incedent,I remembered
that my
late Father gave me some document to keep for him as the first
daughter of
him, usual he told me in confidence that he deposited (9. million
USD) packaged in a trunk box and deposited in
a Security Finance Company in Abidijan Capital city of (Côte
d'Ivoire) So
I decided to go and search for the documents where I use to keep them
I
discovered the documents covering the deposit he made with the
Security
Finance Company and some other documents like his will and his
business
documents . As my town has been a serious war zone, I made arrangement
with
two peace keeping force to help me move out of the
country,
however i moved out of Sudan successfully, to ABIDJAN COTE D IVOIRE
where
i am now.

I have gone and confirm the deposit with the Security Finance Company
in
Abidijan Capital city of (Côte d'Ivoire) while all the documents are
with
me here. Now I wish to contact you as my forieng partner for
investment in
your country or enter into business venture as the country (Côte
d'Ivoire)
is no longer in peace since they conducted their Presidential election
on
the 22nd October 2000 the country has witness all sort of political
unrest
ranging from ethnic clash which resulted to killing of innocent
citizens
and strangers, people are living in fear as the country is no longer
that
peaceful nation as it was before due to this reason that I have
decided to
contact you.

i therefore want you to help me in the following ways

1)To provide a fresh bank account which can be capable to carry this
amount
(USD9MILLION) when you most clam this money, so that it can be
transferred.

2)You are going to be a co-manager of this fund for five years in your

country

study
in one of the universities in your country.

4)N/B/ 15% WILL BE ISSUED TO YOU FOR ANY EXPENSES INCURED IN THIS
TRANSACTION.

I will give you every other detail that will prove the genuinity of my

plights, I am hopeful that God ALLAH will touch you to be of this
assistant.
