My late father Mr. Francis Murray, before his death he told me about $8million U.S Dollars and 180kg gold which he deposited in African Development Bank of Ghana, to look after our self when I am old enough for the claims. That when I am 20yrs I should contact a foreign beneficiary that will stand for us for the claims of the $8million U.S Dollars and gold and help us invest the Money abroad. That we shouldn't go to Liberia for my safety, because he already deposited the funds in African Development Bank of Ghana for foreign Investment.Therefore I want you to lecture me on how best we can invest this money in your country. Because my father told me it is dangerous to invest this money in Africa, due to bad economy and political instability facing Africa countries. Presently, we are in Ghana to notify the Bank for the claims of the $8 Million USD and the 180kg gold, because I am over 20years now, But the Bank Management ask us to provide a foreign beneficiary, before the fund can be release to us, to make sure that the funds is going into the right and safety channel, because this was due to the agreement between my father and the Bank where the Money deposited. For your foreign assistance I will offer you 25% of the total amount of the money and the gold enclosed. I have all the vital documents covering the deposit of the consignment by my Father, (Francis Murray) such as the contract bond, deposit Certificate and the Certificate of ownership which I can send to you through f ax or email on your request, for better understanding of your assistance e, I will be very glad if you can come over to Accra-Ghana to inspect the two truck consignment so that you can see for your self and we go back your country for investment, but in you can't come over to Ghana all the same my Consignment will be transfer to you as my late fathers foreign beneficiary.Please reply if you think I can trust you so that I send all vital documents across to you including the Bank contact information, so that you can as well contact the Bank that you are my Foreign beneficiary, so that the $8 Million USD and the 180kg gold can be Transfer to you without any further delays.
