This will enable only you have direct control over this fund. We have also agreed with the relevant authorities that we will handle this payment ourselves (through our London Office) to avoid the hopeless situation created by the Bank Officials.

JOHN HILL; International Audit unit, United Nations Liaison Office, London United Kingdom on Tel/Fax: +0044-7040-112-695 or Email:revjhill1@yahoo.co.uk with the following information for activation and to collect your original payment slip with your ATM Swift Card
