I am Mr. Evans Lee. I am a new worker in the Compensation firm. I work as their management of foreign compensation file keeper. Well as i was going through all files on my desk this morning,i came across your file which i took time to go through it. I found out that on your file you have a pending fund to receive due to your inability to comply with complement as your documentation.
Actually the meaning of the red pen on your file means DISCLAIMER of fund since you refuse to contact the right office for claim. I have be trying to reach you through the cell phone number on your file but it was not reachable so i decided to contact an email i saw on the file to see if i can reach you in claiming back your pending fund.
