Dear Nelson,

After submitting your forms to Moneyxfer they informed me they would make a decision once Mr Wilson Jamet has submitted his forms. They set a deadline that I believe expires today.

You should log into Moneyxfer and check for yourselves.

Mr Chioba

I received 10 pages of scanned images from you which were passed on to Moneyxfer. The document file from Moneyxfer I believe runs to over 50 pages. I know that in order to see the images you need the Apple Quicktime viewer on your computer, it is an old programme so you shouldn't have any trouble locating it.

If you cannot see the printed pages maybe your printer needs a new ink cartridge in it?

I gather Moneyxfer are asking you to send all the pages back. They will do the same for Mr Jalmet.
