good faith and hope that it will transpire into mutual relationship for now
and in future to come .I am the eldest son of late Sir Desmond Kai-Farley, a
formal gold merchant and also a know politician in my country Liberia.
After the fall of the government, my father with other top government
officials was alleged financial losses and detained by the Interim
government of the administration, on 23rd 2003 November, unfortunately he
died in the detention custody since then the government has been accusing my
family with strange accusation. At first I thought it was a political
vendetta from my father's political opponents but I was wrong, then they
froze all His bank accounts known to them, hoping that we will starve to
death. Why can't we all live in peace? Since i can't do anything in my
position here for now, this is where i employ you to come in for the
remaining deposited fund un-disclosed.
