I am looking for foreigner or foreign firm that's trust worthy whom will help me and transfer this money into his company's account after that, i will come and meet you in your country and look for an solid investment where i can invest my own money,
But you have to confide it because i dont want our government to hear about these money please because this is the only hope i have in this world now .
Our wicked presdent now, trace all my fathers money and other inheriternce and claimed everything that he has,that's the reason i will not mention the country and the bank where the money is now,all information about it is with me and if your are interesting, please get back to me through this email in other for us to start all arrangement without wasting any time.
Meanwhile I have mapped out (20%) for you, and 10% also for the expencese. you will Stand on my behalf as the beneficiary for the claim of the inheritance from the bank, since the management of the bank adviced 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 status right now.
Am waiting for your positive reply with your information such as your phone and fax numbers,your house address and company name with your bank information soonest thanks.
