any fruit.*

interest or he wants the money to yield much interest and he will use of the
interest and get the total sum released to you after he has made a lot of
profit.*

released to the owners with immediate effect. Call me immediately.*

charge of any transfer and all the signatories that will be endorsed before
approval of any fund is transferred out of the country.*

will give me 5% of the total fund so that I will take it upon myself and
make sure that you will be among the contractors that will receive their
contract funds in the next day. Upon your acceptance reply to this transfer
deal. I will do all the underground work here in the CBN to make sure that
