hospital and told me that he has the sum of (USD$13.500,000) in one metallic trunk box(Consignment) and he deposited with one of the leading security company here
in abidjan.
He further told me that he deposited the consignment in my name and advice meto make an arrangement with my only son and move the consignment to any
choosen country.
I am just a young lady with only one Son Henry and really don't know what to do,this is because of I have suffered a lot set backs as a result of political
