consignment and with the agreement that my late father entered with this company to verify that this consignment is still there but the agreement states that I would need the assistance of a foreign partner who will claim this truck box on my name since I am still under-age.
This is why I am seeking your assistance to enable me front you as my appointed foreign partner who will assist me in claiming this box from this company.The security company does not know that this deposited box contains money because my late father registered and tagged it as family valuables
