I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business.Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is un-official and private,
and it should be treated as such. At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties.
