The attorney now advised me to seek in confidence a foreign account
into which this fund could be transferred for disbursement as directed by

my late husband in his WILL.It has been resolved that 25% will be your
share for nominating an account for this purpose and any other
assistance you will give in that regard,5% has been! slated for there
imbursement of all
local and international expenses which may be incurred in the transfer
process.Finally, 70% will come to myself and my children and a good
part of this shall be directed towards executing his WILL which is to buy

shares and stocks in foreign country to secure his
children's future.

promptly whenever your attention/assistance may be required.

information.
I shall commence the process of retrieving the WILL immediately I hear
from you.May I at this point, emphasize the high level of
confidentiality which this business demands and hope
you will not betray the trust and confidence which I response in you.
However, you may need to give me sufficient assurance that you will not

sit on this fund when it is finally remitted into your account.

our family attorney, Barrister EDWIN NWAOKO as indicated above and
