This is on the condition that you will take 30% of the fund for yourself, 5% used for expenses, while you will use the remaining 65% for the less previlege people in the society. This is in fulfilment of the last request of my husband that a substantial part of the fund be used to carter for the less previleged.
If this condition is acceptable to you, you should contact me immediately with your full contact information below so that I will forward it to the BANK as my new beneficiary to enable the BANK give you the right of next of kin to the fund.
I cannot predict what will be my fate by the time the fund will be transfered into your account, but you should please ensure that the fund is used as i have described above.
