DEAR STEVENS,
First of all many thanks for your detailed information and highly appreciate your
gesture.
As what I gather is that for settling somewhat in Andorra I need to invest about US$
28000 FOR US COUPLE AND ANOTHER US$ 7000 for Kids . Not to mention additional 5-10000
dollars for initial settlement expenses.
Frankly speaking I cannot arrange that much money.In this much money I can live a very
good kingly life here in my country itself. However Canada is calling for as low as US
$ 1000.00 as fee plus USD 8000.00 to be taken along to settle permanently. Which seems
to be ideal as the country is peaceful and low crime rate.
It is highly unfortunate that in this world we are not free to travel and settle in
countires we like despite being able to be an asset to the societies and economies in
general. Andorra seemed to be ideal for us to grow but again the money thing comes in
between. However I thank you for your kind cooperation and request you to kindly avise
if you have any other good place in mind to recommend. I can arrange only about USD
10000.00 max. to take with us and both my kids have to start their scholing which is
prime importance matter.
Once again thanking you, I remain,
Yours truly,
ATUL SHARMA(HANNA)
