We have therefore deliberated with the Bank in charge of this payment to allow Beneficiaries the privilege of receiving their Funds in two (2) or three (3) instalments. In this case, Beneficiaries will no longer be required to pay the fee at once but part of it depending on the number of instalments such Beneficiary will like his/her Funds to be released to him/her.Write the Bank and request that you want your fund to be transferred to your account by instalments payment, so that once the first payments enters into your account you can then use money from there to facilitate the transfer of the remaining balance, once the first instalments enters into you.

The Capital One Bank Washington USA which is now in charge of your Payment has agreed to give the Beneficiaries the option of receiving their Funds at once, in two or three installments.This will help the beneficiaries to pay part of the fee and receive part of their Funds with which such beneficiary can upset the remaining fee and receive his/her complete Funds.

To break this down:

Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($350) fee will facilitate the release of two Million United States Dollars (US$2,000,000.00) only. Six Hundred And Fifty Dollars ($650) fee will facilitate the release of Three to five Million United States Dollars US$5,000,000.00) only.One Thousand, Six Hundred Dollars ($1,600) fee which is the total fee will facilitate the release of your Full Contract/inheritance Funds in the sum of Eleven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$11,500,000.00).
