Claiming money paid for closing a company after failing to deliver
I am from India.
We had a company registered in the UAE and we were willing to discontinue it. So we paid some amount to a local person in Dubai in order to complete all formalities of closure.
There was not any formal agreement, but there was an email communication to complete it. But in spite of the passage of one & half years, he has neither closed my company nor paid me back that amount.
Now, he is not responding to me on email.
Please advise me about my options.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
I believe this person has taken the money without any authority or intention to do the completion work.
Since you have email communications with you, you can send him a legal notice demanding the return of the said amount considering the work isn't done.
Please forward to me the email communications between you and the local person to enable me to ascertain if there is a scope for any criminal action against him.
You can email me on hari@alnassaradvocates.com.
