Thanks in advance.
Well i think am ok with the Quote. My uncle will be responsible for the payment since his the only one sponsoring me and his going to make a full payment of your service fee not half just for you to be in a safer side and he will be sending you a Check which will get to you in 2-3 working days. If you are ok with this; you can get back to me with your full name, address and your phone number so that he can mail out the payment

to me
How are you doing today?.. I just got a message from my Uncle today that the Check has been mailed out to you Since yesterday but there is a little problem which i believe we can handle together.Instead of the Agreed amount of 350$; My Uncle made a mistake of sending $2,500 out to you. He didn't get me right; I'm really sorry for the inconvenience and he said when you receive the Check; you should deducted the agreed amount for the translation and take 50$ extra for the trust ahead. So i want you to keep eye on it and let me know whenever you receive the check ok.
Thanks for the trust and understanding.
Looking forward to read from you.
