He also made me understand that it was because of this money he was poisoned by his business associates while on a business trip with them and he instructed me to look for a foreign partner who will help me transfer this money out of this Cote D'Ivoire and invest it for me, my purpose of
contacting you is for you to help transfer this money to your country before this people who kill my father will kill me too, I'm now hiding in a local place here for my safety.
