Dear Professor Soludo,
I have now secured the required fees of $50,000 please advise secure bank account details so I can
transfer the funds to you as quickly as possible.
Once that is done can you confirm this will be the final payment I need to make to secure the transfer of
the $25Million into my trust,
If necessary you can call me on my work number - +1 (425)906-3449 - and be patient, if I am on the
phone it will let me know there is a call waiting and put you on hold, I will try and get off the phone as
soon as I can.
yours
Justin Thyme
