I am contacting you so that, you could be my beneficiary on a huge some of dollars which he deposited in one bank here,in liberia since my country is at peace now so that the money can be transfered to you and you send back 40 percent to me so that i can use it to invest in here in Ivory Coast while 30 percent wounld be used to invest in your country ,because if i just go to the bank i would be probed and will lose everything that is the secret, but mind you no one knows about this deposite exceprt me and my second brother who was killed during the war, not even my mother know about this deposite.
This money $22,million U.S dollars were deposited in my names as the next of kin to my father.
Accepted to help me and the family, we shall offer you 30% percent of the total money, and this must be kept very secret between both of us.
