My reply so far.


Dear Mr. UDUDONKA HABA

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. CHRISTIAN EICH (I added a full stop after Mr there
for you).

That is indeed a vast sum of money and I'm both shocked and awed at the volume of U.S.
dollars stored away that will soon be stolen! For 40%, I would likely play dirty games
with my own mother (hhaah, joking... kinda).

However I do not live in the united states and have no use for U.S. dollars, could we
perhaps make it UK pounds?

All the best,
