CHIEF WILLIAMS BROWN of the ex- king of mende tribe in Sierra-Leone. On
the 19t May, 2003 our father was murdered by some rebel group on the accusation
that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the democratically
elected President of Alahji Tejan Kabba. Almost half of the palace was burnt.
Fortunately I was not in the place when they raided the palace my father
married 2 wives with 10 children my mother , with 6 of my father's children
where murdered in cold blood while my little sister escape the incident
with bullet wounds on his right leg at the moment where the remaining families
are I don't know. Rightnow I am left alone with only one sister after
the sudden assassination of my father the family has been displaced and
totally disorganized left with nothing. Early that year before the death
of my father travelled to abidjan where he told the family that he deposited
12 million USD in a Bank in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire,now we are looking for
a God fearing person who will assist us in transfering the money into
his account.
So I decided to go and search for the documents where my father
use to keep them in his room, I discovered the documents covering the deposit
he made with the Bank and other documents for his business.
As my town has been a serious war zone, I made arrangement and leave the
country with my sister to abidjan Cote d'ivoire now.We have gone and conform
the deposit with the Bank with all the documents,all the documents are with
me here.
Now I wish to transfer these funds abroad and enter into a business venture
as the country (Cote d'ivoire) is no longer in peace since October 2003
the country has witness all sort of political unrest ranging from ethnic
clash which resulted to killing of innocent citizens and strangers are living
in fears as the country is no longer that peaceful nation as it was before
due to this reason that I have decided to contact you, to assist me to transfered
this money out of this country for the future of me and my younger sister.

your persentage and how to invest the money on your advice.Please I need
your assistance.
Waiting for your urgent reply .
