Dear correspondent,
Your letter is very surprising.
I have to say that I am worried. This recent message which you submitted to me sounds vaguely associated to something which is pretty confidential. Do you actually have some information about it?
Right now I am now in a difficult dilemma at the workplace of my brother and sometimes I can get somewhat bemused about other issues but I appreciate your reply but I have to be direct. I have used a long time sifting through your email and I am still insecure that I comprehend it all wholly.
Can you kindly reply? I look forward to reading something considerate from you.
Ms Schultitz
