that
they will divert your fund to the government treasuries account just because
that you refused to pay for the trasnfer fee of your fund which is $98 but i
told them to wait until i hear from you today so that i will know the reason
why you rejected such amount of money $5.9 millions which will change your life
just because of $98.(jamesknight663@yahoo.co.uk),James Knight.
