OBVIOUSLY,LAST YEAR 2005,BEFORE HIS EXCELLENCY EMBARKED ON THE SAID TRIP TO U.K,SOME MONEY WAS REMMITED INTO MY ACCOUNT TO TRANSFER FOR HIM TO ANOTHER COUNTRY THROUGH ANY OF THE ASIAN COUNTRY THAT IS MORE CONDUCIVE ,WE ACTUALLY REACHED TO AN AGREEMENT THAT IF I SUCCEEED IN TRANSFERING THE FUND THAT I WOULD BE GIVEN TEN PERCENT(10%)OF THE MONEY CASH .WE UNANIMOUSLY AGREED. PERHAPS THE FUND IS ALREADY IN MY ALL STATES TRUST BANK PLC ACCOUNT IN WHICH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BANK IS FROM OUR STATE TOO NOW THE BANK IS IN DISTRESS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DID THE TRANSFER FOR THE GOVERNOR.
