The bank officials know me as his friend whom he has given the legal authority to take care of his inventory when he was alive, so i don’t envisage any difficulty in this transaction which has manifested from the look of things.

Dear Sir,
The correspondence you sent me is quite amazing.
To be honest I am worried. This recent letter which you sent to me sounds possibly related to an affair which is pretty personal. Where did you learn my information?
Once in a while, I can be quite inattentive about affairs at politics but I appreciate your reply but I have to be frank. I have spent a lot of time perusing your email and I am still unconvinced that I comprehend it all perfectly.
Please do answer. I look forward to read something obliging from you.
Mr Becken
