when she travels out of the country. In any case the funds
were successfully logded and it
is currently in a safe deposit abroad. All the papers to
legally claim
the funds are with me . On the news of her death i keptback
the papers for myself and safely put in a place that nobody
can
discover except I say so, the amount involved in this
transfer is US$12.5m (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars).

the Security
