Before he died he revealed to me about the two boxes containing money and Gold. This money is Eighteen Million ($18) Million US DOLLARS, (250) kg Gold. Which he deposited with a security company in Ghana for safekeeping.

To this end we want you to be our investor trustee who will make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on our behalf in your country, to be our Adviser/Manager for all the investment plans.

Presently my mother and I are here in Ghana to notify the security company of the claims, and we are staying in the refugee camp.
