before.I hope i will be forgiven for my plea,however i feel very pleased
to come to you at this important time of my life.I know you may be very
much aware of the continuous prevailing political problems going on in cote

serving under the president of this country(president Laurent Gbagbo) as
the honourable interrior minister.My late father,Late Mr Emile Boga DOUDOU
was murdered in cold blooded by the mutineers who staged a coup attempt
to overthrow the present government of this country which the troops loyal
to government later regaained control.As of the period this sad incidence
occured,i was in school in Accra,the Ghanian capital where i'm doing my
degree course in geography and urban planing faculty of
social sciences at KWAME NKRUMA UNIVERSITY before the tragic news of my

as the only son of the family a particulars inciting a deposit of $7.3 million
dollars which my late father had in mind to open a fish industries in malaysia
at the time of his retirement from civil service.This fund was deposited
by my late father in a safe and depository security and finance company
here in Abidjan,but i directed the depository company to move the consignment
immediately out of cote d'ivoire to their office abroad(name withheld for
security reasons).I need your humble and sincere assistance to help me in
the investment of this fund as i have no single idea in the world of commerce,but
our first objective will be to retrieve the
consignment out from the depository company to your control.Meanwhile,the
company staff never know the real content of the boxe as it was registered
as carrying family effects/propertry.For futher
