Good day Madam, I want to inform you that your husband materials has arrived Canada but is Withheld by the Canadian Port Authority at the Port as they are requesting for Clearance and Administrative documents of the materials. I have tried all my possible best pleading to the chief Port comptroller to release the Materials to me without the required clearance, but the officer in charge did not respond to me, rather he mandated that I must make the clearance from their office before the Materials will be released or they will cease the Materials and the clearance cost 3,150 Dollars. This issue has been affecting my other programs and I advice you to write me so we know how you can make the payment without further delay or they will not release the materials as they said.
