Dear Friend,
The email you sent me is much surprising.
For your notice, I would like to have faith in your message but I have had an difficult experience in the past with an esteemed banker who still has failed to pay me a lot of guaranteed funds despite my complying all the commands given, including the remittance by me of a lot of money.
Just now I am going through a delicate affair at my work and quite often I can become somewhat bemused about other affairs but I have been perusing your mail and I am unassured that I comprehend it all wholly.
Imminently I wish to read a kind reply from you at your earliest convenience.
Mr Hert
