My father was killed three years ago (2002) in the war in Liberia including my only brother.During the war in my country and following the indiscriminate looting of Public and Government properties by the rebel forces, the Liberian mining co-operation was one of the target looted and it was destroyed. My late father was a top official with Liberian Mining co-operation, he was among six other top Government functionaries that were attacked and killed by the rebels because of his relationship with the civilian Government of Charles Taylor.I and my two sisters relocated to Ivory Coast with my mother to stay with the only surviving relative of the family to secure ourselves until October last year 2003 I and my two sisters relocate to Nederland seeking asylum here, we lost our mother after a brief illness in Ivory Coast.Since our arrival in Nederland, I have been searching for a liable person who can help us secure my father's wealth deposited inEurope in a security out fit.I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of Eighteen million U.SDollars ($18,000.000.00) now in the custody of a private Security trust firm in Europe, the money is in trunk boxes deposited and declared as Precious stones by my late father as a matter of fact the company does not know the content as money, although my Father made them to understand that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.Source of the money: My late Father Chief Michael Coleman is a native of Kru tribe in the Northern province of Liberia, was theGeneral Manager of Liberia Mining co-operation (L.M.C.) Monrovia. According to my Father this money was the income accrued from Mining Co-operation’s over draft and minor sales of Diamonds and Gold. My Father was ready to go to Europe to clear the goods before he met his on timely death.

As a result of my fathers death and with the information we got that the rebels are out for us the burden became too much for me to handle coupled with the ill health of my mother she died in the process as I could not afford her a decent medical care.
