Subject: hello

Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Daniel Tanko,a Sierra Leonian by nationality.
Presently I am residing in a neighbouring Benin Republic on exile.

After the war that ravaged my country for a couple of years,
most of us in the military are under very tight scrutiny and
constant oppression, thus necessitating my flea to Cotonou for
safety. I have certain amount of money to the tune of $15M
(Fifteen Million Unites States Dollars), in a security and
finance company in Madrid Spain with which I wish to invest in a

related area of my interest which is acquisition of real
estate/buying franchise of one or two products made in your

company/country which will be exported to popular African markets
that commands large demand of such products . This will be done
on your personal advice. Therefore if you indicate interest to
fashion me with investment advice ,I will be glad to receive your
kind response through e-mail for further explanation regarding my

request.

Regards and God bless you

Mr.Daniel Tanko
