>>>I need almost a perfect user manual sample...I know
perfectionism is something subjective but I trust u all in
terms of ur knowledge and skills...that will be great if
some of u could send me your best works...<<<

Some questions:

1. Why do you need these manual samples?
2. What do you consider perfect?
3. What type of manual are you looking for?
4. Does format matter?
5. What are you specifically looking for in requesting "perfect" manuals?
6. Why can't you look at existing published manuals for examples?

A big note - many of us write highly proprietary documentation. We can't
simply send you a copy. I suggest you itemize what it is you are looking for
in a perfect manual and reconstructing your search to gain the knowledge you
are after rather than asking for cold hard samples. Samples will show you
what worked for a specific product for a specific audience with specific
needs. Knowledge will allow you to rationally approach whatever it is you
need to do and make informed decisions on how to tackle your doc project -
if that is what you are trying to do.
