However, after their death I managed to stay alone and when the war broke
out in my country, I escape to refugee camp in Europe with every important

Thousand U.S Dollars only packed in consignments but the security company
did not know that the contents are cash rather "Family Treasure". This
amount was deposited by my late father in one of the leading Security
Companies in Europe.The deposit documents indicate me as the next of kin.
Presently, I am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foriegn
personality to help me. I will map out 25% for you.
(1) you will Stand on my behalf as the beneficiary for the claim of the
inheritance from the security comapny since the management of the Security
Company advised that I should solicit for an individual or Corporate
Organization to claim the deposit for me as they cannot release it directly
to me due to my refugee status in Europe though I still keep my place of
abode secret pending when you agree to accept me as your child.
(2) Transfer the consignments over to your own country and into your
possession pending my arrival to meet with you.
(3)Invest and manage the fund for me in a good business pending my maturity.
