This is the story in a nutshell.
Now I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer thisfunds Thereafter I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated interest the balance in this account stands at-(£ 9.5 million US Pounds).
Now My questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
