you and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.I have deposited

is witheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you
could receive this fund into
your account for safe keeping.This arrangement is known to you and my lawyer
alone, so,he will deal directly with you as security is up my whole being.The
name of my Lawyer is Barrister Abama Wilson You can reply to the mail address
