Meanwhile,Before the death of my parents,My late father told me that He deposited a truck box containing U.S $ 17.2 M Dollars with a security company in Abidjan,Cote d Ivoire where I am residing now.I have gone to the office of the security company with the certificate of the deposit of this
consignment and with the agreement that my late father entered with this company to verify that this consignment is still there but the agreement states that I would need the assistance of a foreign partner who will claim this truck box on my name since I am still under-age.
This is why I am seeking your assistance to enable me front you as my appointed foreign partner who will assist me in claiming this box from this company.The security company does not know that this deposited box contains money because my late father registered and tagged it as family valuables

. (3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
Moreover,Dear,I am willing to offer you 25 % of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful release and delivery of this box to your nominated address and 5% for any expenses that might be incurred during the process of this transaction making it 25% of the total
