Before his death he was the chief manager and the director of Williams and son smith company here in west Africa situated in Accra, Ghana.

My parents and my only brother died in a fatal accident involving two cars and a lorry.i was in a boarding school then when it all happened,and i was taking to a cousin`s place who now took care of me just for one year and after selling some of my father houses he wanted to go and collect the three consignment boxes which my late father deposited in a security company with my name as the next of kin.
After then, crisis came up and everybody has to find his way, so i was taken along side with some people who lost there parents to the Liberia refugee camp here in Accra, Ghana, where i have been for two years now.i now went to the security company to clarify about the three consignment boxes and i saw my late father consignment boxes as it were kept for nine years now still intact and safe.

All those boxes are untouched and still intact up till now.i have the deposit certificate here with me and the key and code numbers to the consignment boxes. but all i need now is to make the clearance of the boxes in your name and your country for safety reason and then i can come and join you there to invest in any kind of business you will want me to as your daughter.
