"Hotwheels, This has taken a very long time I know and I apologise for the length of time in having my solicitor make you aware of what is going on. It has not been my wish for it to take so long and I have attempted to hasten this on many occasions. As soon as I am able to arrange it I expect you will shortly receive a letter from solicitor regarding the property settlement. "
