and two other junior colleaques) to the tune of (US$30.5MILLION UNITED STATE
DOLLARS).
Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor ,
leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount , which we have in

afraid and we need your trust and assurance that you must be an honest and
