As the only child of my late parents,I inheritated an important sum of money from my late father who was a prominent Gold and Cocoa marchant who died in recent crisis here in Cote d'Ivoire. My mother died when I was a little child in the year 1986. I wish to request for your assistance in investing this money in lucrative venture under your directives and guidiance in your country. I want you to assist me for the transfer of this sum of Five million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars (USD5.500,000) to your account in your country hence I will give you the contact of the bank where the money is so that you can contact them immediately and discuss with them since I do not know
