Dear friend,
Forgive me if I sound a trifle rude but would you please verify your personal details first?
A while ago I had remitted some payments to someone who informed me of a fund almost the same as yours. He has still not answered my last 16 letters and this makes me nervous about you.
I have had a hard day so please just inform me in easy words.
Berend
PS You should be aware that the phone number you wrote does not work. Please give to me a workable number.
