If your answer is yes, then I urgently need your help!In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source and the choice of your country. I wish to introduce myself. My name is Barrister Vincent Kofi [Esq] , a personal Attorney to Late Mr.Terry Ford of Zimbabwe.

My Client was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the President political ideology, the president supporters invaded my Client's farm and burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments incuding his bankaccounts. After the death my client, instantly family took this as taboo and they were were ostracized from the society, the family lost all our friends for fearof the government of Robert Mugabe;The wife of my client called me for immediate action to see the funds left in their home is taken away by a major top secret link.
Where I was shown underground basement and showed me a cleverly constructed secret store room, in which were 1 large iron box of about 3feet square each. She produced the keys, and opened each box to reveal bundles and bundles of US 100 Dollar bills! totally US $6.5MILLON!. I demanded an explanation and she said that my father hid the money before the new 100 dollar bill was introduce! that my client has made this money and stock it in this store room, and has been making arrangement to move these money to Europe, America or Asia for investing and relocation to where they can spend the rest of their life before the death of client, because the government of Robert Mugabe has been fighting him and other farmers that its not wise to invest further hereor deposit large money with the banker in Zimbabwe. Obviously, my client made this money from his lucrative farming job and I will never let his hard earned money be taking away by this government or anybody.
