foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an
application through the Justice Ministry here in

$21=2E5 million=2C 70% for us and 5% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses=2E The business itself is 100%

position to make the payment of this claim possible
provided you can give us a very strong Assurance and
