I am alive writing you now from Nigeria where I and other lucky victims who escaped alive from the rebel attack are like refugees.No house, no good food, no good job and I just getting assistance from well meaning individuals and a couple of Nigerians who came back from Liberia too.
Before my father's sudden death, he kept the sum of US$27,000,000.00 (Twenty Seven Million US Dollars) in cash with a Private security vault overseas, which he intended to use for Politics. While my father was alive he explained to me that he had such fund and had to keep it in a security company abroad due to the unstable polity in Liberia and considering that he is a politician, he would not want the Government to seize the money if deposited into the bank in Liberia. Now that he is late and am the only surviving son, I am writing you to assist me receive this money in your country, invest it in a profitable business and help relocate me to join you immediately. As a result of insecurity of life and property here, I do not want to stay in Africa any longer.
