He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management here on how best to transfer this money to overseas please.He told me that the fund is a trunk box as such the security company does not know the contents of the box. I am humbly seeking your assistance in the following ways:
