You are to make payment to the receiver's name and this address 37-39A King Street, Southall before your arrival here as we have started the processing and is left with the said fee to be able to endorse and approve it for your obtainment when you get here.
Regards, The British Immigration

Me: What's going on ????????????????
I turned up at 37-39A King Street on Saturday.
The people there accepted my money, and told me to return in 1 hour.
