Good day, SAMEER NARAYAN HINDURAO,

Following what the bank said to you, I wish you to know that the affidavit is the most vital documents to be submit to the bank, this will enable you to have your prize release to you in your country without having any problem with your country Tax charge and any governmental charge. I then wish you to know that your present will be required in London to stand in Court for your affidavit, but in a situation whereby you cannot come down to London, then it means that you have to hire a lawyer who will help you stand in for that so as to secure the affidavit, and the fee which the lawyer is to pay in the Court is $500 for the affidavit and then $350 for the legal fee making the whole fee total into $850 .So if you can't come to London then see below the chambers information and contact the barrister and then ask him on how you are to make the payment to there chamber for the securing of the affidavit.
