00ADDRESS 02br
00ADDRESS 02br

00"Here should be the courtesy thingie... but what to use for a banker? " 02br

  • 02br 00if you have the name of the person to whom you need to send it and if you're gonna meet this person once you're in the UK you might say 02br 00" I remain available if you have any concerns and really look forward to meeting you" 02br 00if you don't know the person, just say yours faithfully, it is not rude just to say that.
