deposit but we can not lay hands on the money due to the deposit policy, but

for us as next of kin so that they can make further transfer to the persons
account, and this is the only option we could get the money for now.*

release the money to you, and you will save our lives by bringing us to your
country after the transferring of the money to your bank account. Please
help us as we are always leaving everyday in risk here.*
