Good day,
I picked interest in you after going through your short profile and demanding it be necessary to write to you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site. Could you please get back to me on my private email (akinwuntanpatrick0@gmail.com) for details.
Have a nice day,
Patrick Akinwuntan.
