The buyer will indicate by writing the first letter of the choice of hard drug of purchase on the table, then “Area” will hand over the drugs wrapped with deposit or transfer form over to its customer who then walk safely out of the bank like other customer after completion of their transaction. The buyer must come with actually amount to be attended to.
