My mother died when i was a baby. Before the death of my father on Sept. 2005 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Four million two hundred thousand United States Dollars USD ($4.200,000) deposited in one of the big bank here in Abidjan.
He used my name (Stella) as the next of Kin to deposit the money. He then strongly advised me to seek for assistance in the investment of the money from a foreign partner from any country of my choice that will assist me in the wise investment of the money.I have since left the money in the bank with the view of making use of it for investment purposes after my educational carrier. But as you may be already aware by now, my country (Cote D'Ivoire) is presently at war caused by political crises. Rebels have already taken over the whole Northern part of the country and making efforts towards the capture of the commercial center of the country,Abidjan, where i am now. For this urgly development in this country,I have now decided to take quick actions and have this money transferred out of this country before it is too late.
