Good day my dear,
Please permit to solicit for your kind attention.we got your contact through
my search in the internet as reputable person who can help to manage my
inherited money in a good business until we are able to take over after the
completion of my theological studies.Firstly, I will like to give you some
highlight of my profile and what we need your cooperation and assistance
for.I pray that God will touch you to help me out.I am Kenneth biros, we are
the children of late Dr.John biros. we are
citizen of South Africa. My late father was the founder/president of
Techphoebe Aluminum Company in South Africa until he died after a protracted
illness.Due to poor management of the company during the period of his bad
state of health most of the director began to divert the net profit being
generated from the company.
He therefore arrange with the family lawyer and sold the entire company to
Mr. Alan Foster from Poland at the price of US$12,000.000,00(Twelve Million
United States Dollars) which was transferred to a security company in
abidjan cote d'ivoire, with instruction to transfer the
consignment to his foreign business partner under a special secret
arrangement in which he declared the consignment as family valuables and
with the hope of investing it later, but the sudden death could not allow
him.After his death I discovered a copy of the will he made in which he
stated that the deposit contains money, though declared as family valuables
for security reason.

money for investment and managment on my behalf and for me to also come to
stay in your country.we have decided to contact and rely in you because,we
