client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the finance
house where this huge deposits were lodged.

over 3years now.

that the proceeds of this account valued at $20 million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and i can share the money. 55% to me and 40% to
you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require,I
have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we
