Before the death of my father on the 30th November,2003 in a private hospital here in ABIDJAN, he sincerely called me on his bed side and told me that
he had a sum of $7 Million US DOLLARS (SEVEN MILLION US DOLLARS) deposited in a Private Security Company here in ABIDJAN, COTE D' IVOIRE and he told me that he deposited and declared the box as an African Actifacts and that he deposited the box under his name and made me his next of kin. He further explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associate, that I should seek for a foreign

(2) To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am only 22 years old.

Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within 14 working days, from the day you signify interest to assist me. Awaiting to hear from
