Unfortunately I loosed him mysteriously,He died in France during one of his business trips abroad last year octomber 2005. though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle , who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth.
He deposited the sum of ($6,000 000 00) money with my name in security company .
Now l want to used it for good business l wish for my good living.
I need your assistant to bring this money out from the security company in Africa and to invest this money in your Country. I don't want to invest this money in Africa because of my status as i wouldn't want eye browse on me, and also for security reasons.
It is my desire to invest this money in Agriculture Industry or any other business you may suggest.
This is because I have suffered a lot of set back as a result of family enemity and incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
Please, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few question:
1.Can you honestly help me as your new family?
