outstanding
contract/inheritance payment valued at US$5.5M which was fully
endorsed in your favor accordingly.
It’s been suggested and concluded that it is better; your funds are
given to you via online banking. This means that you can be at the
convenience of your office or house and carry out transfer of funds
gradually to any account you want. Also the bank with online
facility
can give you funds via ATM cards depends on your request.
The essence of doing this is because of the inherent difficulties in
international funds remittance from the formal banks/offices handling
the transactions since. The concerned authorities did not want you

to
release the funds to you through Arizona Bank and Trust New York.

person and you will be required to write the bank by requesting and
showing
your willingness of having your funds prepared for immediate release
and
