I became a widow18months ago. The source of my husband's death was believed to be fromour detractors who are never happy he was making so much progress. Theissue is that my husband sold a piece of land he inherited from his late father.He made so much fortune from the sales because mineral deposit (gold) wasfound to be on the land. He deposited the money(about $24.2M USD) inA BANK here in Accra Ghana. He was later afflicted with anunexplainable
disease which kept him incapacitated for two years. Money could not
help him out as he died 18 months ago with the ailment.After his death, his family was on me to tell them where the money waslodged as they have taken over all of his belongings. They have alsoemptied his bank accounts with other banks and discovered the money was notlodged there. My husband warned me not to disclose the money to his familybefore he died in the hospital. The family has left me and my son withnothing. I now fend for myself and Junior my son.My plans are to relocate from Ghana, but I will need to move out themoney left by my husband. Any attempt for me to try and move it in my namewill cause me more problems than I can imagine as an African woman.
