My father was falsely accused of plotting to remove the then PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA (CHARLES TAYLOR) from office Without trial,Charles Taylor killed him and others without trial or fair hearing.

Before my father was killed, he moved out the sum of USD5.5 million which he deposited in a commercial bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire where we are now staying as political refugees. My father has been a business man before he was appointed into Government. We want you to help us receive the fund in your account, invest and manage it as our partner in your country while we continue with our education. We have to migrate to your country after the fund is successfully transferred to your account.I and my younger sister (Sonia)have agreed to offer you 15% of the total money while the remaining will be for investment but what we solicit most is your trust in this transaction as we don't want someone who will betray us at last. Kindly reply us urgently so that we can know our position and to enable us furnish you with every detail about this our inheritance. Please send your response through the above email address.
God bless you.
Truly yours,
Larry Yormie
