They neededmy assistance since the transfer can be made easilywith my supervision as an experienced broker. Myclients at (ICEP) have confided in me to look for aforeign partner that will help in putting the fundsinto the banking system and also assist in investingthe funds into profitable business ventures for mutualbenefits.Since my clients at the (ICEP), Switzerland havemandated me to look for a foreign partner and that ismy aim for contacting you.
