We want you to assist us provide a bank account either new or old ,so that the bank here will transfer our father's money into your account in your country and also take me and my sister out of this country.
Why we contacted you is that we went to the bank to withdraw this money since our late father use my name as the next of kin to the deposit, but were told by the bank director that my late father made an agreement with them that i have to get to the age of 25yrs before i can make claim of the money or alternatively i should provide a guardian who can make the claim on my behalf and that was why i contacted you.
