worthy person that I can do business with and by the
recommendation , I must not hesitate to confide in you

Mrs.Richard Kamah. My father was a very wealth cocoa
merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory
coast, my father was poisoned to dearth by his
business
associates on one of their outings on a business trip

My mother died when I was a baby and since
then my father took me so special. Before the death
of my father on November 2000 in a private hospital
herein Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side
and told me that he has the sum of fifteen million
,five hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD ($
15.500,000) 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
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 management or hotel management .

Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the
following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money
would be transferred to .
