PEOPLES' ACCOUNT

The President of Afrina paid an unofficial visit to the Head of the biggest Bank of Swash Land. The President of Afrina was appointed just a year before, and his Secret Intelligence Agencies had told him that many of his country’s Politicians, Army Generals and Businessmen had secret accounts worth billions of dollars in this Bank.

The President of Afrina told the Head of the Bank about the current state of affairs of his country. He delivered an extended speech against corruption and impiety that had been happening in his country during the past years.

The President then asked an errand from the Head.

 “Mr. Robbins, Please let me know the details about all the Secret Accounts. My people have suffered a lot; this money can bring them happiness. This deed of yours will be a great help”. 

The Head replied reverentially, “Mr. President your stipulate is highly considerable but our Bank policy does not allow us to disclose the accounts information of our Clients to anyone”.  The President entreated him so many times, but all in vain. He then presented him bribe of a million dollar cash and in addition offered him to be the Financial Adviser or Chief of Oil Export Bureau of his country. But Mr. Robbins rejected all.  The President became bleak. He got up from his seat and locked the door from inside. He then took his Pistol out of his briefcase and put it on Robbins’ head.

“You left me no choice than to kill you”, the President said irritably. “Tell me about the accounts before I count till ten or else I shoot”. Mr. Robbins was shuddering with fear. His forehead was all coated with sweat. But still he said,” Sir, You can kill me if you want to but I can’t give you what you are asking for.” President started to count but Robbins remained passive.

After that he triggered the pistol. It was an empty chamber. He burst into laughter and took away the pistol and sat in front of Robbins. He then told the head of the bank, “Mr. Robbins, at this instant I have full trust in you and in your Bank. Gratefully, open an account for me. I want to deposit one billion dollar of mine”.
