Dear Sir,
Thanks for your mail. The next step is that you are required to come down in
person to South Africa and open a non resident account but in a situation
where by you are unable to come my lawyer said that he would transfer the
funds without your arrival.
What i need is your full assurance and trust including your Mobile number
and receiving Bank account details.
I hope to receive a positive response from you. Your mobile number is very
important because i need to speak with you.
Thanks.
Lucy Hunzvi
