May their perfect souls rest in peace.
Before the death of my father he secretly called me by his bed-side and told me that he has a sum of Nine million Five hundred and eighty thousand EURO (? 9.580 million) deposited in one of the leading security companies here in Cote d'ivoire, and that he used my name as her only daugther for the next of kin.
He also said that i should not say it to anybody including my friends otherwise his enemies will seek after my life, he further told me that nobody knows the deposited consignment as money not even the security company, he said that it was deposited as "family valueable and treasures for liftment for Africa artwork for exportations" and because of the incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast he advised that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice who will assist me to retrieve this consignment and transfer it to whichever country i will like to live and invest the money.
