trunk box was deposted with a security company here in
ABIDJAN under a speccial arrangement as family
treasure. This means that the security company does
not know the content of the box which was brought from
Abidjan under dipolomatic coverage.
Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the
transactin, we need your assisstance to help us move
this funds out for investment in your country as we
cannot invest here due to its nearness to our conutry

business, so that we caninvest wisely.
We have it in mind to give you 7% of the total sum US$
18.3 million dollars, and 3% of any expenses which you
