Due to religious laws which forbid her from owning funds she will not be directly involved in this matter rather I will represent her interest. Haven stated this I will need to state that the first thing required of you is to take the fund to your country, and to do that safely we need to act in the following procedure:

As soon as the fund is in the Trust account (to which you will be sole signatory) you will make arrangements for the visit of my self and Noel Klasse to your country to evaluate the investments to be executed.

And finally you will make arrangements for the migration of my client to your country, if you are agreeable and comfortable with role above stated, my client is agreeable to remunerate you immediately with 5% of her funds out of the 10% set aside to ensure that the transfer is secure, safe and confidential.
