Subject: FROM SHEIK SHAFFER UMARU ( pls explain very well)
Dear.Pastor Robert Ised,
Thanks for your reply. Meanwhile, before you write to the attorney, I want clear specification because your mail was not very specific. Because I might be entering for my last operation soon. According to the medical expert my chances is very slim.
I want this donation completed before the operation. Because my faith is not very strong enough on particular operation due the way the medical expert explained the whole process. I want to assure full completion of this transfer before what seems my darkest day.
Please, explain to me before reply ort calling the attorney. Because I already told him our readiness before his full involvement.
God bless.
Sheik Shaffer Umaru.
