Upon special auditing panel set-up by the Boards of directors of my bank BARCLAYS BANK PLC (London, United Kingdom) to investigate all credit account operated by it customers, that has been in operation for the last Seven (7) years.

This is just an avenue to success and it is 100% legitimate, I only offer this because by the end of this calendar year; all credit accounts that have not been in operation for the last seven (7) yrs will be transferred to the bank treasury account and noting more. That is why I am contacting you today in other for you and I to apply for the fund without any issue arising from the bank. Due to my position in the bank, I can not apply my self.
