Dear amarjit singh,
How are you. I hope you got my mail which was in response to yours. please you know what we should be making progress by now. i have waited for your reply since then and none ever came.
having waited all this while i consider it necessary to reach you again and know why you have not. i really would like to hear from you so that the SECURITY COMPANY would be notified about our intention.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
yours sincerely
anthony igeh
I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost £2500 ($5000) in fees to Barrister Eze, I have not yet received the money.
I don't want to get burnt again.
Can I really trust you?
