OBJECTIVE: Decrypt the Message.
DESCRIPTION: We were losing hope, when Foma didn't reply for two days. But finally, the reply message has been received. The message is encrypted using a modern stream cipher called RC4. The ciphertext that we have is in base64 format, and you can use the Cryptolab tool to easily decrypt it.
Do that and quickly submit to us.
