I have an inheritance that I would want to invest in your country.The amount is US$7.500.000 compiles in a metallic box and deposited with one of the security company in Western Europe. I want you to stand as my late father's business partner in claiming the money from the security company there in western europe as i am incapable of doing it myself because I am since in Africa. I am ready to part with 20% of the total sum to you if only you assist me to claim the money and assist me
also in investing the money in a very large profitable business in your country when i join you over there.

I will give you more detail and forward all vital information as soon as I hear from you.
