everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.
The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated
interest the balance in this account stands at-(US$15.million US dollars).
Now my questionsare:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer Consider
this and get back to me as soon as possible.

appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can be
made.
Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained herein be
accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it
deserves.
