My father was shot dead on September 19 2002, in fighting involving hundreds of mutinous soldiers in Yamoussoukro, capital of the Cote D' Ivoire; Immediately, it occurred to me that the whole family life is in danger I stumbling escape out of the country with my junior brother to the Republic of south Africa where we're now taking a refuge presently.

I am making this contact to you requesting for an urgent assistant for the remittance of USD$8,500,000.00(Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which was kept in a vault of Security Finance. My father secretly deposited the fund with a Security & Finance Firm as a treasure items for his family abroad six months earlier when he was in power. However, the content of the boxes was not properly disclosed as money. My father legally declared the contents as an irrevocable/unconditional (Unknown) item belongs to his foreign partner overseas. However, no name was nominated in the contract agreement documents as the name of the foreign partner who supposes to be recognized as the true beneficiary of the deposit in accordance with the deposit terms and conditions.

He instructed us that if he dies, that we should look for a foreign partner who will help us to transfer the money into the person's account and the person will help us to invest the money in his or her country. We agreed to give you 10% of this money, if you can help us to bring out this box from the security company and transfer this money into your account for onward investment in your country. As soon as I receive your response I will send all the documents to you relating to the deposit and the WILL my father left for us that declare us his next of kin to all his estate.
