Need to pay 10% of funds to release

I appologise if I have posted in the incorrect forum.~!

I have a gut feeling this is a scam.

Story :

A girl in Burkina Faso has lost her parents. A solicitor from France is there to represent the girl and the inheritance. They have asked my friend to look after the girl whilst the inheritance the girl will get when 18. In the mean time my friend will receive 10% of the inheritence to look after the girl.

This is where alarm bells started ringing for me. So now he is asking for money to be able to release the funds. He sent her (friend) an order transfer from the bank ( please can someone send me an email address so I can forward the image for you to look at). Looking at the address on the document is not an address for the bank but a crepe eatery.

I would be grateful for anyones thoughts as I am very suspicious of this!

It is 100% a scam.

It is a basic Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

There is no girl (Refugee).

No money.

There is not a Solicitor.

They will use a name of a real bank but the emails will be pretending to be from the bank.

The scammer will want to steal money by having you/friend pay fee's for fake documents.

Have your friend delete the emails and stop all contact with everyone involved.

There is no such thing as free money. No one gives away money.

Thank you for your confirmation. I really appreciate it!!!!
