this business transaction, because somebody has to be contacted, I know you

before, but somebody has to be choosen, please let me briefly introduction
myself and my family.
My name is Derick G. Akpojotor and my mother name is Mrs. Felicia G.
Akpojotor. I am the only son of the late Mr. Yesufu G. Akpojotor, who was
the owner of Akpojotor's Crude Oil Coporation in my country Zimbabwe, who
was killed by some sea pirates. My late father Mr. Yesufu G. Akpojotor was a
very rich and traditional African, who made a lot of money from the sales of
Crude Oil. Before he was killed he deposited $10, million (Ten Million U.S
Dollars In Cash) in a bank here in Ghana, for safekeeping and express
transfer to leave Africa and he used my name as the Next Of kin over here in
west coast of Africa, Ghana.
On the 26th August 2005 he was on his way back from shore when he was
attacked with his men by some sea pirates who took all they had, and trying
to fight back as a strong African he was shot dead. One of his men who was
half dead drifted away to the other side of the river who was later rescude
by some good samaritan. He later came to tell us what had happend to them
all.
After the death of my late father, we flew from our country to Abidjan
because of the civil warin our country and during that period my sister were
killed, and my late father lawyer brought to us some vital documents stating
my father deposited $10, million (Ten Million U.S Dollars In Cash) in a
bank here in Ghana, for safekeeping and express transfer. Immidiatley, we
rush to Ghana for the cliam of the funds, and we were told to provide all
legal documents that was given to my late father at the time he deposited
the funds in the bank and documents to prove that I am the next of kin, and
also my late father death certificate.
The documents were provided but the bank told us that at the time my late
father deposited the funds in the bank he deposited it on express transfer
to leave Africa that my late father said that the funds is for contract
payment for is foreign business associates, so now we do want you to help us

to help us, stand as a foreign business associate and our choosen
beneficiary to the fund so that the bank can transfer the fund to you.
