To start with, if you are in current with the actualities in africa, you will discorver that the country IVORY COAST have been at war since in the year 2002 and up till today the country is still devided into two parties. That of the forces loyal to the presidential camp and the forces loyal to the rebel leader.

Now, Just at the starting of this very crises, My husband was one of the earliset victime as the secretory general of the opposition party. He was kidnaped at home by some armed men on uniforme, so it was after the situation calme down that we found his corbs along the express way. So that is how I lost my husband, now I was living alone with my only son DOUGBO PATRICK. Since the death of my husband, I have been trying to work out things to make sure that my son finishe his education but now things becomes difiicult than ever been.

My aim of mailling you is this. Before the death of my husband, he have this (7,800,000£)seven million, eight hundred thousand euro in a bank here in abidjan ivory coast which he made from his post and his cocoa farmer as you may know Ivory coast as the highest world producer of cafe and cocoa.Since his death, I have been trying to wait till the end of the crises to come forward and withdraw the money but the situation of the country still remain the same. Now we are living wreched and am now sick but we dont have money at hand for my treatment when we have this sum in the bank but due to political reasons, we cant come foward other wise we may also be a victime as my husband since the same president LAURENT GBAGBO is still in power
So deally one, I will like you to help us transfer out this money to your country so that after the transfer, I and my son will have a sorce of living.

To start with......
1)You have to provide an account in which this money should be trasfered to.
2)Arrange for my son a better school to attend when this tarnsfer will be off.
3) Negociate down a hotel room for our lodging before we get an apartment. and finally
4)You help us to seak a better business to make a living in your country to invest this money on
