How could you possibly feel “violated and anxiety ridden” living where you do and having what I’m assuming is 100 full terms? Even if you had 35 and three 215s that guarantees absolutely nothing. They do this every single year and have been for quite some time so why are you stressing so much? Especially on this website in multiple posts, one of which was pretty rude and disrespectful. It’ll be okay bud just don’t quit your day job.
As trump would say. Mexico is not sending its best people. Haha
English is really lacking here on this sat afternoon.
It is not a big deal if you have any questions please feel free to contact the person or entity named in the future and the rest of the intended recipient or have you been up to the next few months and I will have the opportunity and look forward to hearing back from you.
