Elaborate your query with full facts. Name the service provider and service receiver otherwise complete and correct reply is not possible. Half-baked reply will not be useful.

If a  querist wants complete and correct answer, the query should not be too short to reply. The query should always be in detail at the first instance. 

I have observed that most of the querists hesitate to disclose full facts and circumstances at the first instance.
