Good Day,

We a team of American coalition troops writing from
Freetown Sierra Leone!

We urgently seek for your willingness to help secure
some consignments on behalf of the American coalition
troops in peace keeping in Sierra Leone. We are currently
in Sierra Leone on behalf of the UN for peace keeping
over the conflict between rebel forces RUF (Revolutional
United Front) and Sierra Leone government over Sierra
Leone Diamond/Gold mines.

RUF (Revolutional United Front) was mostly made out of
unemployed men from the slum areas, illicit diamond miners,
Liberian and Burkinabe mercenaries, and etc. However,
many child soldiers were forcibly recruited in order to
increase their ranks. While RUF claimed to be fighting for
justice, freedom and unresolved grievances, their main aim
was to seize control of the country?s large supply of
Diamonds. The rebellion claimed over 75,00 lives, turned
500,000 Sierra Leoneans into refugees, and displaced half
of the country?s 4.5 million people. Rebel forces and
governmental soldiers (14,000 of them) actually collaborated
at times, being soldiers in the day, but looters at night.
This coined the term ?sobels?. The army?s forces also
consisted of street urchins involved in theft. they were
given an AK47 and a chance to engage in theft on a larger
scale.? Initially, RUF did the mining, but as time went on
they went to villagers, stripped the young men and hacked
off the arms of the rest, and brought the young men to the
mining site to get diamonds and Gold. The conflict would
eventually become a tug-of-war as to who would control
the diamond mines: The RUF, or the government.

We the American coalition troops were sent by the UN to
resolve the conflict and upon our arrival to Sierra Leone,
we invaded the treasure house of Mr. Al-Ahmed the head of
the rebel force (RUF) were we found some metallic consignments
containing pure Sierra Leone Diamonds, Gold bars and Coins
of very high karats. At this moment, we are intending to
ship these goods outside Sierra Leone for reasons of
safekeeping on our behalf but due to law and restriction
order, we are unable to transport the goods to AMERICA
that is the reason why we are soliciting for your interest
to assist us in receiving the goods on our behalf!

We are ready to meet to your demand on this basis with our
intending 25% of the entire goods either in cash or in
value! Therefore, we will appreciate your effort to reach
us via this Email: woodlite@inmail24.com with your
confirmation of your interest to our proposal. As soon as
we receive your positive reply, we shall furnish you with
further details.

Please, note:- this issue must be handled with utmost
confidentiality as to avoid publicity!

Yours truly
Capt. Juan Ignacio
Team Leader
