Also, according to my emacs

  e==>Exit Emacs  (C-x C-c)

so Alt-` f e is exactly the same as Ctrl-x Ctrl-c anyway!

If the OP really want to quit emacs without being prompted to save any
buffes then run the 'kill-emacs' command which isn't bound to a key by
default.

You would do this with

  Alt-X kill-emacs <RETURN>

But the fact that it isn't bound to a key by default means that it
isn't recommended (and I've never used it in 10 years of using emacs!)
- just use Ctrl-X Ctrl-C as Richard Stallman intended ;-)
