of Cote d'voire,just to save my life, with my two children. The money in
question, is ($22M), Million U.S. Dollars.

I can not make the withdrawal of this fund, because my husband registered
the Beneficiary of the fund as his (Foriegn Bussiness Patner) and also (Family
valuables as the content of the deposit) The documents of the deposit are
with me. What I would want you to do, is to assits me to get the consignment
withdrawn from the security company, you provide a new account for me in
your name, and transfer the money to your country, through the account .We
shall replace the name "Foriegn Patner" to your own name, because the code
was used for security reason.

I will give you the 15% of the money for your assitance.There is no risk
in this transaction. I will use the remaining balance of the money for an
investiment in your country for the future of my children. If you are intrested,
and can maintain the very confidentiality of this transaction,please e-mail
me immediately for more clearification or call my son James on 00 225 07
65 37 16 and also note that I am staying in Abidjan, Cote d'lvoire as a
