good answer. If you will e-mail me at

you have stated here, I will get back with you and discuss
this matter in detail with you. Feel free to e-mail me your
phone number, and I will call you at my espense and we can
talk about your legal problem over the phone. Looking forward
to hearing back from you, I am

Sincerley,

P.S.: Of course, there will be no charge whatsoever. HMP
