Commitment as a civil servant.
I am An Auditor Manager in my Bank. In
Scotland. There is an account opened in this Bank in 1997 and since 2000
nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old
files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out
urgently it would be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is MR.Mike Khogan, a foreigner and he died since
1999. In an air crash along with his wife in 31st October died since 1999 an

Furthermore, in order for us to accomplish this transaction more securely
