deposited huge amount of money when he had an
information about the war.
This money which is in the tone of $21.5MILLON. is now
lying at the vault of this security company.Armed with
the document my father gave to me, I flew to Accra,
Ghana where I comfrimed the document. The security
company show me two seal trunk box with the
inscription FAMILY ACHIEVE" with my name being used as
next of kin in the deposit form, how ever my father
had earlier informed me that he cleverly packed the
US$25.7MILLION in two sealed trunk boxes and he to the
security company that contain works of art. this he did
in order to conceal the money from being detected
I need a foreign partner with the image of God in him
who will equally not sidetrack me because I want to
transfer this money US$21.5million into his account in
abroad,and invest in a profitable bussiness like lettings and estate agency. On completion of this transaction,i wish to
offer 15% of the total sum for your directive. there
is no risk involved both now and future.
