22years of age. My father was former Director of finance Sierra-Leone
diamond,Gold and mining corporation, in Free Town,the economic capital of Sierra
Leon before his untimely death.After his business trip,My father got an accident
with my mother of which my mother died instantly but my father died five days
after in a private hospital in our country. On that faithful afternoon, I didnt
know that my father was going to leave me after I had earlier lost my mother,
but before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to
die.
My father, oh my GOD (may his soul rest in perfect peace) before he
died he called me and told me that he deposited the sum of Nine Million,United State Dollars. USD
($9,000.000.00) left in fixed / suspense account
in one of the prime bank in Abidjan

d' Ivoir.That the money was meant for his diamond and Gold company
he wanted to establish in Tunisia, according to my father he deposited the money
in suspence account using my name as the next of kin,He instructed me to seek
for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment
abroad.Now I have succeeded in locating the deposit documents and the bank where
this money was deposited in Abidjan,Cote d`Ivoire. Due to political problem in
my country I am now seeking for your assistance to help me transfer this money
out from Cote d'Ivoire into your account abroad so that we should invest it in
any meaningful and lucrative business in your country because this is my only
hope in life,and now since am the only person left in my family, my uncle has
seized all my late father's properties of which he want me to provide every

since I am only 22years.To make arrangement for me to come over to your country

your immediate response to know what to do next please help me.
