    Your question has a strange sound about it. Maybe you are being scammed.

    And all the fees come out of the money they will get, you don't pay it up front first. If they are wanting you to pay that large fee up front, then it is a fraud.

    If it is real, you hire an attorney in the US who would work though all of this.

    First and foremost, do you in fact KNOW this Peter Cain?

    If so, then Fr Chuck's advice is golden: get a U.S. attorney involved.

    If not, it's a scam and should be ignored!
