Dear Respectful one,

a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Murehwa,the economic city of Zimbabwe

When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me special

in a private hospital here in Murehwa.

He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $2.5,000.000
(Nine Million, five hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense account
in a local Bank in Abidjan, the capital of cote d ivorie that he used my
name as his first son for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.

He also explained to me that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner
in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for
investment purpose, (such as real estate management).

Sir, i am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

1) To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.

2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a boy of 19 years.

Moreover Sir, i am willing to offer you 10% of the sum as compensation for
effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate
account overseas. Please i will apreciate it if you would call me +225-07-511157.
