stating that $4.8M( Four Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only ) should be
donated to any Philanthropist of our choice overseas.

picked as the beneficiary to this WILL. We have been directed by the bank to produce the
beneficiary within a statutory time period of 2 weeks. Failure to do so, the Estate shall be
transferred to the Government and have it credited to the government's treasury as stipulated by
law.
Upon taking custody of the funds, it is compulsory that you donate 40% of the total Estate value to
charity. This is clearly stated in the Will by our late client while you retain 60% for yourself.

transferring this Estate{funds} to any of your designated official bank account.
