My family and I are God fearfully family worship God truthfully. I am a female student from University Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou . I am 25 yrs old. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well.My father died earlier two months ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death. I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is!
still young and my mother is not literate enough to know and manage in advance all my father's wealth. He left the sum of USD 10.5M (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)in a Bank in Ghana.This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without my consent because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town. Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money into your bank account,That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay !
