Dear Sir,
I have been asked by Barrister Mark Woods to contact you concerning the cost of shipment to me of the property belionging to Mrs Karen Walter.
He tells me you will deliver it either to my local airport or (preferably) directly to my church in Andalusia, Alabama USA.
Can you please advise on the price and how long it will take for the consignment to get here. I am prepared to pay 50% in advance subject to the receipt of various documents and 50% upon safe arrival of the consignment at my church.
Pastor Robert Ised
