DOLLARS) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER WHO DIED
ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN A PLANE CRASH THAT HAPPENED IN (MONDAY 31ST
JULY 2000).
SINCE WE GOT INFORMATIONS ABOUT HIS DEATH,WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF

RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT,AND 50% WOULD BE FOR ME,WHILE
