cannot acquire this money in our names or the names of

your field and profession as a business idealist hence this
business proposal. If you are interested in this deal, we
will require the following from you in order to effect
transfer of the money:Your private/company’s names,
address phones and fax numbers. 2 Your banks name, address,
phone and fax number and your account number where the money
will be executed, and then file the letter of claims apply
for payments to your company. For avoidance of doubt,
all documents will be backdated if need be.
Please be informed that we shall commence processing of
claims of payments to you once we are in receipt of the
information required from you, and the money will get into
