Hello madam. I am Jerry, Mr Andrew's lawyer. I have made all the investigations and even had to fly back to Europe for confirmation. It is very necessary that IMF is paid on time because it is a policy for all Next of Kin accounts to have an IMF code on it unless accounts may be shut down by the International Monetary Fund. Money will be refunded exactly into the account when international transfer is enabled which is after the IMF code is acquired.

His Hinge profile was very minimal. You can see some of his responses to his selected questions in the profile pictures I uploaded from his Hinge page, which he deleted after we started texting outside of the App. I met a woman through Facebook named Julia Wong that met him on Tan Tan, an Asian dating App. Same profile pictures as on Hinge- I sent her my screenshots, and she verified they were the same. I found her because I had noticed she was one of his 3 friends on one of his Facebook profiles, so I sent her a message on Messenger to inquire if she knew him, after he disappeared on me.
