Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of confusion,humiliation, Frustration and hopelessness by the GabonGovernment
I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As an arphan that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment. You must have heard over the media reports on the discovery of some Fund in my father's secret bank account and companies and the
Allegations Of some huge sums of money deposited by my father in my Name of which I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Gabon Government.
In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of about $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on their Effort to
make me poor for life. As the African community has no regards for women, that is my desire for a foreign assistance. I have deposited the sum of 14 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication.
I shall be Grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account or open an account for safekeeping and any Investment opportunity.
This arrangement is known to you and my personal Attorney. He might be Dealing with you directly for security reasons as the case may be. In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual benefits, we Will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of he $14,000,000 that will be Kept in your
position for a while and invested in your name for my trust.
