From: "Olk Elizbeth" <elizbetholk2@mailbox.hu>
Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 10:43:07 +0100
Subject: Dear Sir/Madam,
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please allow me to introduce myself and I seek your indulgence for a few
minutes. My name is Miss Elizbeth Olk, the daughter of late Mr. Amadu Olk, a
very wealthy cocoa merchant business man from Guinean Conakry, West Africa.
My dad was a victim of the deadly plane crash that took the lives of over
110 passengers in Cotonou, Republic of Benin on December 25, 2003. He was on
his way to Beruit (Lebanon) for a business trip with his Lebanese associates
when they met their sudden death while my mother whom my dad loved so much
died giving birth to me in 1990. That made me very close and specail to my
dad who always said I remind him of my mother. You can check and verify
about the plane crash in the following links below.

Early before his death, my dad secretly called me and told me that he
deposited the sum of $5.5 million US Dollars (Five Million Five Hundred
United State Dollars) with a Finance and Security Company on my name as the
next of kin being his only daughter. I have not been able to claim or move
this fund before now since I was just 13 yrs old and still a kid as of the
time of the accident. Presently, I am looking for a trustworthy partner
abroad who can assist me to move my inherited funds abroad for investment
because of the continous economic and political instability of African
states especially my native Guinea.
Dear, I am honorably seeking for your assistance in this ways,
1) To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am a girl of 18 years now.
2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money
has been transfered.
3) Moreover to take me as one of your family so that I can continue with my
education to University level.
4) Also I'm willing to give out 25% of the total sum for your compensation
and for your effort after the successful transfer of this fund to your
possession and country.
I shall be very glad indeed to hear from you as soon as possible, I hope
you will handle this matter as confidential and with the transperancy it
deserves.
Thanks once again, may God be with you and your family. Please reply back

Yours Faithfully,
Miss Elizbeth Olk.
