Good Day,

tell you a little bit of myself,my name is Robbinson Noah from republic of
Liberia in west Africa,i am the only surviving son of my father Mr. Mona Noah.
My late father was the managing director of Blue Diamond and Gold
Export company in Lofia County Liberia West Africa. he was a very prosperous
businessman,infact they call him the richest man in the town of Lofa,but he was killed
one early morning on 20/4/2003 by the rebels,may his soul rest in peace,
those rebels broke in and captured the town of vangerma which is the main
city in lofa county,killing and looting,it was there my family has been executed,
they killed my father and mother with my three younger once,i and one of my
sister were saved because were at school when the whole insindant was happning
then we ran into forest,it was a long story,we have under go so many diffcuties,
but i thank God for our life,so when we get back to our house all our family has
been killed i dont know what to do cos the rebels have loots everything in
our house,
luckly to us,i found my fathers suitcase with some documents showing that he
deposited the sum of seven million five hundred thousand united state dollars in a
financial company abroad so we made away with these documents.so what
i need is a trusted and God fearing person who shall help us transfer
the money into his account in which we shall meet him for investments and my
