I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. so feel free and get in touched with my secretary Mr.nnamdi umunna and instruct him where to send the amount to you. Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the sufferness at that time. in the moment, i am very busy here because of the investment projects which me and the new partner are having at hand.So,you have to contact my secretary as soon as possible and ask him to send you the check without any delay as I have instructed him to do when you ask for it.
