Dear friend,
Pardon me if I sound a bit puzzled but would you be so kind as to show me your personal details beforehand?
A while ago I had transferred some money to a person who told me something nearly the same as yours. He has still not replied my last 19 emails and this makes me skeptical about you.
I have had a lot of problems recently so please just tell me in simple English.
Ruodrik
By the way I tried to call the phone number you wrote but it kept failing. Sorry.
