(Two Million, Five hundred Thousand USD), for you. Which you can withdraw the Funds at any ATM Machine in Your Location Worldwide, with maximum daily limit amount of USD $ 15,000.00 (Fifteen Thousand USD) as you are willing to claim your Winning Fund for your compensation towards your past effort in helping me to transfer the money, Which was not successful at that time.
