Son Mack,intend to establish in your country.
Though I have not met with you before but I believe,one has to risk confiding in
succeed some times in life.
There is this huge amount of Eigtheen million U.S dollars($18,000,000.00) which
my late Husband kept for us with a Security Company in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire
before he was assasinated by unknown persons.
Now I and my son decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe
enough outside Africa for security and political reasons.We want you to help us
claim and retrieve these fund from the Security Company and transfer it into
your personal account in your country for investment purposes on these areas:
1). Telecommunication
2). The transport industry
3). Five star hotel
4). Real Estate or other profitable investment.
If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you 10% Of
the total fund.I await your soonest response.
