Before his death on Febuary 12 2000 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of twelve million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$12.700,000) That was deposited in a security company here in Abidjan as a family valuable
I am just 18 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want GOD fearing person who will assiste me to retrive this fund from the security company.
This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought
sorrow to my life. Sir,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your sugge stions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your son?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
