Dear Mr Smith
First off, apologies for my late reply. It's been very hectic here as Lucy and 3 other staff are all off sick with confirmed covid. I've been trying to reallocate the work handled by those colleagues while at the same time deal with my own caseload.
I aim be in touch shortly.
Regards

Dear Mr White,
Thanks for your response.
I understand how hard this has been on you, I hope you get over it.
My regards to Lucy, I hope she defeats this deadly monster in the name of "covid".
Regards

Dear Mr Smith,
Your kind words are appreciated.
Alongside my work for other clients, I'm still trying to clarify some of the late Mr Goodman's arrangements. In particular, I'm trying to identify his male romantic partner. I initially thought it might have been you, but from what you have told me, that was never the case. Did he ever mention such a relationship in the course of your conversations? Or, do you have any idea who the mystery gentleman might be?

Dear White,
You're welcome.
No, I was never aware of this.

ok. Thank you for that.
Perhaps I should explain my interest in the matter.
I don't know if you are aware of his situation but the fact is that Mr Goodman was a wealthy and successful man. His Estate runs in several tens of million of pounds. One of the beneficiaries named in his will, to whom he has left a very substantial amount, is the gentleman I've been trying to trace. When you said you had a vacation planned, I thought you must be that person! But sadly not.
Mr Goodman did stupulate that should any of the beneficiaries predecease him or be otherwise impossible to contact, that portion would be given up to charity. So, we will not be in a position where his wishes cannot be followed. I'm grateful that his will was drafted in so careful a manner.
Anyway, enough chat. I need to turn out the lights and lock the doors. It's late and I'm the last one left in the offices!
As promised, I'll get back to you you when I have news, hopefully good news, regarding Lucy.
Best Regards
Dennis

Alright Dennis,
Mr Goodman had already showed me that he was indeed a great and a wealthy man, it's not a news to me.
This very young man must be a lucky man if you finally succeeded in finding him, otherwise the charity becomes the beneficiary of this great gift from mankind.
I'm sorry, I don't think I know this person in question.
I must appreciate your good and continuous support in seeing that my late friend's businesses and assets was handled in a well, good and responsible manner.
I'll be waiting to hear from you.
Regards
A. Smith
