We are talking about the money in my bank account to help some poor people
Hello my friends.
What do you think that the function of "to help some poor people" is?

"We are [talking] [about the money [in my bank account] [to help some poor people] ] "
[In my bank account] and [to help some poor people] are referring to "the money".
Because "to help some poor people" can not be the reason of our talking! It obviously refers to "the money".
Of course they are my opinions. How about yours?
Thank you very much!

0I agree. But I don't think your original two sentences make sense and are good English either.
I don't clearly see a meaning. It seems to me you need to mention what you are going to do with the money.
