Dear Williams,
Thanks for you response.
Please what I have been asking you is to tell me what the attorney has told you if you have sent him the text I gave you and you should forward me any mail that you have received from him. With this I can advise you and guide you on what to do and know his requirements.
Reply,
Barrister Fred Obi.

Thank you for replying.

Is everything ok? How has the deal gone further?

Yet again I am abashed. I am still immensely preoccupied with work issues - my old bureau has not been paying my money for a long while so I now have to look for other work.

But, we should go on with your amazing proposal and I confirm now that I will fix all your open issues sometime within the following 4 days.

I remember this saying, Jade and men, both are sharpened by bitter tools.

If you are finding that my English is not really perfect, I am compunctious but it is not my first language.

I wish that you would not disappoint me. I will expect a genial reply from you.

Best regards,

Mr Decker


PS. You should be informed that the phone number you gave kept failing. Please give me a workable number.
