My mother died when i was a baby,since then my father took me so special till his untimely death.
Before the death of my father on saturday 27th January 2007 this year in a private hospital here in Accra, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has the sum of Eight Million United States Dollars left in a fixed/suspense account in one of the prime banks here in Accra, that he used my name as his only daugther as the next of kin in depositing the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates who are envious of him.He instructed that i should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes such as real estate management or hotel management or any other viable investment.
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since i am only 21years old.
