that he has the sum of USD5.500,000,00 left in fixed / suspense account in
one of the prime bank here in Abidjan,that he used my name as his only child
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 business
associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my
choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose
such as real estate or hotel management.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as compensation for
your effort/ input after the successful transfer of this fund into your
