- You can be of help...? Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I am the only child of late Mr. and Mrs. .J P. SAKA. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote d’Ivoire before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss a business deal. When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me so special because I am motherless. Before the death of my father on 24th November 2006 in a private hospital in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that during the war in my country, he moved the sum of US$10,600,000 (Ten Million Six Hundred thousand United States Dollars) and deposited with a security company abroad. Before his death, his last words was that I should move to Ghana where his enemies will not know my where about then from Ghana that I must find any possible means of moving out and naturalize in a foreign country a where I can put up solid investment with the money so that I will not lack anything as his only daughter. Now, I am staying here in a village in Kumasi Ghana with a teacher and his family of 4. Though they are poor but caring. My father's desire is that I seek for a foreign partner outside Africa where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes,(Such as Real Estate management).To fulfill my father's dream for me by moving out of my country, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following way: (1) To serve as the guardian of this fund (2) Assist me in putting this sum of money in safe keeping by accepting to receive it from the security company with a letter of authority from me. (3) to make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country. Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your efforts/input after the successful conclusion of this transaction. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within a few days your. Anticipating hearing from you immediately. Thanks and God bless you. Miss LINDA SAKA
