But unfortunately he did not complete the transaction before his sudden death.As I discovered
this documents I travelled to Ivory Coast with my
three children and I contacted the concerned bank and confirm the deposit.As I confirm the deposit I contacted a lawyer whom in courage me to seek for a
good foreign partner of my choice abroad base on that i chosen to contact you for this urgent assistance.
Formally I wanted to be reciding in Abidjan,But due to the political and rebel crisis in Ivory Coast, with the advise the lawyer given to me I decided to
transfer the fund immediatelly.
Because president Charles Taylor,has send some of his security men to Ivory coast to search for me and my children because of the documents of this fund.Right now I am living in great fear and bondage. I intend leaving this country as soon as the fund is transfered.

As soon as the fund is transfered.I will come over
with my children to meet you and spend the rest of our lives in your country. I wish to invest the money into estate business and other good business you may propose until my children finish their education.
I promise to greatly compensate you for any
assistance you may offer me. I do not know how you may feel about this but I want you to take this very
serious and confidential. Down here, I am living in
