Thanks for your response, let me give Brief information about myself, my name is Jennifer Kossa the only surviving daugther of late Mr Donatus Kossa, may his soul rest in perfect peace. I am an under graduate studying geolgy at East legon university Ghana Before the death of my father, he was a cocoa merchant and he was also in the government of my country.

The rebels claim that my father was in surport of the government during the war that devided my country into two part.
Luckily for me, I was away in the burden school in Ghana a neighbouring country. It was on the BBC Africa that I heard about the tragic death of my parents and brothers but my father was still alive at the time of gun shot and was ruched to the hospital. I was taken to the hospital where he was recieving treatment for gun wounds. One week before his death, he called me to his bed side at the hospital and handed a document to me. The document is covering a deposit of eight million U.S dollars (U.S$16.8 000.000.00) which he deposited in a security company vault in Africa. According to him he said this money is meant to establish his business in europe after his retirement. He instructed me to look for a trust worthy partner in over sea to confide the release of the fund into his account and relocate to his country to establish the money on a lucrative business and live my life quietly.
