this matter with a her in the bank that I want this money personally so that
I will be able to take care of my children's educational needs since my
husband's family members vehemently opposed the furtherance of their
education. According to the officer of the bank, the best way to secure this
money is to remit this money to a foreign bank designate outside our country
for safe-keeping, later it will be expended for future business investment
subject to the Advise of whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I
there fore ask for your kindest and sincere assistance in providing us with
the following details, according to the officer in the Bank-

I have decided to give you 30% of the total money as a reward for your
sincere assistance and the remaining 70% of the money will be for our both
