Actually, I want to move the money directly to your
custody from the fiduciary company here in South Africa
where my late father prior to the investment deposited
the money, as soon as you confirm your readiness to
co-operate with me and sincerely protect my interest.
Please, confirm your acceptance of the offer to enable
