Adam Johnson intended to use for an investment overseas before his death.
The amount is 6.2 Million USD,deposited in a bank here in abidjan.Its such a

help me see that this fund is transfered to your account in your country since

colleagues might come after me.I am presently in the assylum camp because our
house was set on fire during one of the political problems here which rendered
me homeless.
Please permit me to ask you few questions:
1. Can I completely trust you?
