I am mavis ogasa. 20 years of age and my younger sister jenny15 years old the children of late H.R.H Chief Joseph ogasa.the ex-king of mende tribe in Sierra-Leone. On the 19th May, 2003 my father was murdered by some rebel group on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in support to restore the democratically elected President of Alahji Tejan Kabba. Almost half of the palace was burnt.
Fortunately I was not in the place when they raided the palace my father married 2 wives with 7 children, my mother with 4 of my father's children where murdered in cold blood while my little sister escape the incident with bullet wounds on her right leg at the moment where the remaining families are where I don't know. Rightnow I am left alone with only one sister after the sudden assassination of my father the family has been displaced and totally disorganized left with nothing.
Early that year before the death of my father travelled to abidjan where he told the family that he deposited one trunk box containing the sum of ($12, 000 000 00) Twelve million US dollar for safety keeping in one Security Company in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire,Now we are looking for a God fearing person who will assist us in retriving this box from the Security Company where my late father deposited it for investment purposes.
Already I have discovered the documents covering the deposit my father made with the Security Company in his room where he use to keep important documents in his room,
As my town has been a serious war zone, I made arrangement and leave the country with my sister to abidjan Cote d'ivoire now for asylum.
We have gone and confirm the deposit with the security Company with the document, Now I wish to transfer this funds abroad for investment purpose as the country (Cote d'ivoire) is no longer in peace since October 2002 the country has witness all sort of political unrest ranging from ethnic clash which resulted to killing of innocent citizens and strangers are living in fears as the country is no longer that peaceful nation as it was before due to this reason that I have decided to contact you to assist me retrive this box to your country for the future investments of me and my younger sister.
