open beneficiary in Apex Bank of Nigeria pending when he would finish
arrangement to transfer it abroad as a CONTRACT PAYMENT. He was planning
this when he died late last year of Heart Attack.

money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the
transfer / investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if
