death I managed to escape with a very important document
(DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE of (US$5.5m)Five million Five hundred
thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in A
( FINANCE FIRM ) which i am the next of kin.
Meanwhile,i am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy
foriegn personality to help me transfer the money over to his country
and into his possession pending my arrival to meet with him.
Furthermore,you can contact the company for confirmation and
i will issue a letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the
Finanace company to deal with you on my behalf.
