the only son of late Mr and Mr Venantius L. Alaswar. My father was a very
wealthy Gold/Diamond merchant in Sierra Leone , my father was poisoned to

meeting because he did not support the bad political leadership of our
country and accused of sponsoring the rebels. Though his sudden death was
linked to have been done by his wicked brothers who tried to escape him out
of bribery
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so
special. Before the death of my father on 20th Dec 2007 in a private
hospital here in Ghana where he was brought for treatment and security, he
secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of .USD
$10.5Million, left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank here
in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only son for the next of Kin in
depositing of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his political associates and since they have confiscated his
funds in the banks and banned his shipping companies. That I should seek for
a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will secure and transfer
this remaining money in Abidjan here for safety and use it for investment
purpose such as real estate management or hotel management to grow my future
education .Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following
ways:
(1) To provide a good bank account into which this money would be
transferred into
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 19years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
Moreover, dear, i am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as
compensation for your effort/ input after the successful transfer of this
fund into your nominated account overseas. Furthermore, you indicate your
options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be
concluded very urgently when you signify your honest interest to assist me.
