My name is JOHN MBA, i am 23years the son of late DR. MOSES MBA a native of Liberia in west africa. my father was a close friend/bussiness partner to the deputy minister of mining and Natural Resources [Dr Abel Majeed Haoun] [Deputy to Mrs . Cecilla Bannerman] in Liberia untill his death, he has been doing business secretly with the minister and at the same time representing him in all his business correspondence both locally and internationally.
Before the death of my father, i been the senior son he secretly told me that he had the sum of $22million [us dollars] deposited with a private security firm in Ghana.These funds were reealized from the sales of gold dust, this he transacted on behalf of the minister. the minister has no access to this fund as the fund could not be traced to him or any of his relative and he does not have the contact details of security company were the funds is been deposited.After my fathers death, I search his safe and discovered all the documents which my late father use to deposit the money as consignment on his name on behalf of a foreign bussiness partner unknown to me.
Before his death he use to business in Europe and America that is why i believe that my fathers partners will be in one of this country.
Based on this, the minister has been running after my life asking me if i know were my late father deposited the money befor his death which i did deny. My fathers uncle advised me to leave the country,that is why i left for Ghana and that is were i am staying right now for security reasons.

It can be transferred to your account in any of this country i have mention that my father use to do business as i am still interested in doing business in this country. Meanwhile the money can be invested into risk-free profitable ventures and there shall be an agreement to protect my intrerst. i have all the documents to enable you claim the consignment from the security firm.
