Luckily for me, I was away in the burden school in Ghana a neighbouring cou=

rents and brothers but my father was still alive at the time of gun shot an=
d was ruched to the hospital. I was taken to the hospital where he was reci=

overing a deposit of=A0eight million U.S dollars (U.S$8.000.000.00) which h=
e deposited in a security company vault in Africa. According to him he said=
this money is meant to establish his business in europe after his retireme=
nt. He instructed me to look for a trust worthy partner in over sea to conf=
ide the release of the fund into his account and relocate to his country to=
establish the money on a lucrative business and live my life quietly.
Why am contacting you, I need your assistance in the following:
1.Help to pay for the clearance document charges.
2.Help to invest the money on a lucrative investment in your country.
3. Send me an invitation letter to arrange my travel to your country soon a=
s the transfer is effected into your account.
4.Help to manage the investment for the minimum of five years.
5.Serve as my partner and guidiance in your country during my relocation to=
your country.
Regarding this transaction, I offer you 20% as compensation and 5% your exp=
ences over the transaction immediately the transfer is made into your accou=
nt.
Note: If you are interested in this joint venture, signify by replying me a=
s urgent through my e-mail and I will scan to you the document covering the=
money and the contact of the security company in=A0Africa so that you can =
contact them as my father's partner and beneficiary to start the transfer t=
o your country for qucik investment.
Waiting for you urgent reply.
