Re: Corporate Visa Card.
I work with the Central bank of Nigeria .The total amount on the visa card is $12.5M if your contract sum is different, indicate the amount. Attached is the visa card application form which you are obliged to fill and get back to me immediately. Your visa card will be ready in two days from the
date you return the filled application form. Call me if you have any question. Clearly state your cell phone and delivery address where you want the card to be deliverd to you either through FedEx or DHL.
Regards,
Dr Tunde Lemo.
