REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIMS AS THE NEXT OF KIN
WITH AFFIDAVIT OF TRUST OF OATH TO THE BANK AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN
ACCOUNT WHERE HE WILL NEED THE MONEY TO B ERE-TRANSFERRED INTO ON HIS
REQUEST AS IT MAY BE, AFTER DUE VERIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION TO DESIGNATED
BANK ACCOUNT.
