militias invaded my father's farm in Darfur and burnt down everything
in the farm.They killed my Father and took away a lot of items from his farm.
After the death of my father, my self and my mother
escaped to Ghana. Recently my mother revealed
to me on her sick bed, that when my late father forsee
the war coming; he gathered his money and sold most of
his properties and deposited the money which amounted to $9.5m
with a private security firm in Ghana (being a very safe and peaceful
country) as precious family belongings.
My mother and I are therefore requesting your assistance
to help us claim this fund and to help us wisely invest
this money in your country.
Please kindly contact me immediately via email for easy
communication and I will furnish you with details of the
