Now l want to used it for good business l wish for my good living.
I need your assistant to bring this money out from the security company in Africa and to invest this money in your Country. I don't want to invest this money in Africa because of my status as i wouldn't want eye browse on me, and also for security reasons.
It is my desire to invest this money in Agriculture Industry or any other business you may suggest.
