box was deposted with a security company here in ABIDJAN under a speccial
arrangement as family treasure. This means that the security company does
not know the content of the box which was brought from Abidjan under
dipolomatic coverage.
Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the transactin, we need your
assisstance to help us move this funds out for investment in your country as
we cannot invest here due to its nearness to our conutry and the war still
going on there. We ask you to scout for a viable and lucrative business, so
that we caninvest wisely. We have it in mind to give you 10% of the total
sum US$ 14.7 million dollars, and 3% of any expenses which you will make in
course of this transaction--fax messages, phone calls, air tickets etc. And
10% for profit made of what the investments will give which you have adviced
us to do, you will be the one to manage the investment, while myself and my
younger sister continue our education on our arrival to your country.
