Permit me to inform you my heart desire for a business

father was a very wealthy Gold/Diamond dealer in Freetown,
the economic capital of Sierra Leone. My father was
poisoned to death by his close business associates on one
of their outings on a business trip. My mother died when I
was 15 years old and since then my father took me so
special.
Before the death of my father last year on August 19th
2003, in a private hospital in Freetown, he secretly called
me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of
Twenty five million five hundred thousand dollars (USD
25.500.000) He concealed in a metallic box and deposited
with a security company in SPAIN;that he used my name been
the son as the next of kin when he deposited the money.
He warned me that because of envy that he was poisoned by
his close associates. He also
advised me to seek for an honest foreigner in a country of
my choice those associates will not
hurt me as they have succeeded in poisoning him.For your
information , it has been difficult
to know who is an honest person to assist me in this
transaction , and for me to continue
silent over looking for assistance, i decided to make a try
from you, i arrived here (ABIDJAN)

mony to pay for hotel bill.
Dear, I honourably seek your assistance in the following
ways: 1-To stand as our foreign partner since my late
