The story is that my husband Mr.Rahman Nguessan was
poisoned to death by his business associates about
some months ago, and he died in a private hospital
here in Abidjan.
But when he was about to die, he called me beside his
sick bed and told me that he deposited the sum of Ten
Million seven hundred thousand United State Dollars
(USD10.7M) in a confidence account as bond in a bank
here in Abidjan Côte dIvoire, this money was kept for

in trying to paint the picture of the agony I am going
