It was the money she intended to transfer oversea for investment before she was poisoned. She also instructed me that i should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice who will assist me transfer this money in oversea account where the money will be save and invested wisely.
Because of the political problem in my country Ivory-Coast, we decided to move down here to Cotonou. Therefore, i am crying and seeking for your kind assistance in the following ways:-
(1) To provide a safe bank account into where the money will be moved to for investment.
(2) To serve as guardian of this fund since i am a girl of 21 years.

I am awaiting for your reply.
