Please treat with respect,
I am RHODIA and I will like to get advice from you. I believe the advice I need will be profitable. A few year's ago I was in Myanmar with my parents who were both pastors with a little congregation where they preached regularly. On one faithful Sunday three British Soldiers came to my father and left one trunk box containing money and swore to come back for it.
When the war intensified my parents and I were escorted to our country by the UN soldiers who felt the contents of the trunk were documents and hospital materials and never cared to check the trunks. My father deposited this box in a financial firm in my country Cote d'Ivoire, an African country, Unfortunately my parents died of car accident and when I was getting frustrated I returned to London only to find out that two of the three Soldiers died in Battle while the last was declared Missing.
Now I have the documents to the fund which according to my father the soldiers said was USA $4.6 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS, now kept safe in a Finance firm in Cote d'Ivoire (IVORY COAST). Since I am the only child of my parents, I was contacted in a letter dated 3rd of March by the Finance Firm asking me to indicate if I was in receipt of the letter as a sign that I am living and still subscribed for their service.
I am interested in using a small fraction of this money, much less than ten percent for a re-organization of the work of God, but I do not need the rest since I am still at School I may not have the time for the investment needed. I have contacted you to help claim the funds and use it for charity or something universally profitable, I have thought of doing it myself but, I have to concentrate on my education first which make me not indulgent in reliance on money or wealth in any form. Also I do not have the money that has accrued on the service and safe deposit of the box by the Finance Firm.
Get back to me with your decision and idea only through this Email address rhpunga29@yahoo.co.jp
Sincere Regards,
Rhodia.
