    The last time he communicate with us was February 26, 2023. He said, he didn't receive the cheque yet from school that is why he cannot send it back in our account. He's upset everytime we ask him about it. He said also that we are not only his concern.

    Dear Officer,

    How are you? I hope all is well with you. I apologized for the late response. I got sick for the past week and just came back to my office. I want to thank you for bringing these to my attention. First, the complainant is my cousin and she is not our client. All the correspondence letter is directly sent to her sister in *************** as per office policy and privacy.

    Our office will not disclose anything if the main applicant is requesting, something that the complainant Mrs.**** ****** ********* might understand.

    I have attached the proof of the money transfer for your reference.

    Thank you, and have a great day ahead!

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because: he only sent $6,000 which was supposed to be for tuition fee deposit. He keep saying that I am not the principal applicant. Then why he asked me those such big amount of money if he doesn't want me to get involve in my sister's application. He even charged me with tax but until now he cannot provide an OFFICIAL RECEIPT. I want all my money back then if that's the case. He should asked his client to pay him not me. It is not fair after he git all our money he can just completely ignore me.

    He even booked my sister a plane ticket and asked for a travel insurance even without approved ****************** yet. And same thing no OFFICIAL RECEIPT given.
    Sincerely,

    ***************************
