As soon as you confirm your interest and co-operation I will give you the
guide lines on how you can transact with the bank for the approval of the
funds to your A/C. As soon as everything as been put in place for the transfer
I will apply for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to your country
for my share of the funds and the sharing of the funds is 55% for me, 40%
for you and the remaining 5% will be for expenses incurred during the transaction.
As soon as the transaction is over I will secretly destroy all documents
that will lead to the trace of this transfer, Because i have work all my
