Hi David,

I've sent something to your bank account. Should be available soon, if
not already.
Not as much I'd wish and with huge delay (sorry for that) ...

Thanks for all you've done and do.

 @ all:
I'd like to invite you to consider joining (if not already done).
Well, I'm not a native speaker so I doubt I've expressed myself
accurately, so you may reread the mail I reply to.

Thanks,
  Harm
