Mr. Sillla
I notice there is no account number so i will just make the check payable to
Kebba Ceesay
Or would you prefer
Provident bank??
Please advice me accordingly.
As Far as Sang Ndow is concerned , I will call him tonight.
For your information he is the unofficial Akalo of State of Ohio. He has been
there for almost twenty years or close to that I'm sure and he has some friends
(non Gambians , other africans and Americans) who will help out if they are
approached by him asap
He is in Cleveland. I am sorry you have to go through this situation. This is
why death insurance is important so that the loved ones left behind will not
have any financial troubles and will bury you asap as prescribed. I always bring
this issue up and advocate it as a priority from many past personal experiences
regarding the same situation with many muslims in our community not only
Gambians..
May God guide us to unite and help each other out in times of distress. Ameen
