I think the only way to succeed is to seek help from a foreigner. I have enough diplomatic contacts to fly the money in a diplomatic box to europe because the box will be moved under diplomatic cover.

A security company will clear the box through customs and take it to their office awaiting collection. All you have to do would be to claim the box and deposit the money in an International Bank and then instruct the bank to wire the money to your account in your country.My client cannot do this on his own as any bank would suspect a Black man of owning such huge some of money. > > YOUR DUTY: > > 1.

When you collect the box from the security company you and my client shall proceed to a bank, there you will deposit the money in your name and ask the bank to wire it to your account in your country or elsewhere. Note that although this account shall be opened in your name, my client will have to be a co-signatory to the account, therefore you cannot operate this account without his consent. > > 4. You shall assist my client in investing his money. Huh.... What? I would never do it before getting some money into my account... And... WTF... Can't understand why someone would make such an operation... Geez...
