I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. so feel free and get in touched with my Pastor,Pastor James Adams 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'm still having my medical treatment and I believe that God will do his best on me finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so feel free to get in touch with Pastor James Adams, he will send the amount to you without any delay.
