Presently, I am staying in one of the refugee camps outside Angola just to save my life,with my three children. The money in question is $10,500,000.00 Milllion U.S.Dollars.

I can't make the withdrawal of this fund,because my husband registered the beneficiary of the fund as his (Foriegn Bussiness Partner). But the documents of the deposit are with me. What I would want you to do, is to assist me to get the funds withdrawn from the Bank, have the same transfered to your country in your name and thereafter share the funds by giving you 25% of the total sum as commission.Please there is no risk in this transaction. I will use the remain balance of the money for an investment in your country for the future of my children.
