    Custom class that encapsulates a :tl:`MessageFwdHeader` providing an
    abstraction to easily access information like the original sender.

    Remember that this class implements `ChatGetter
    <telethon.tl.custom.chatgetter.ChatGetter>` and `SenderGetter
    <telethon.tl.custom.sendergetter.SenderGetter>` which means you
    have access to all their sender and chat properties and methods.

        original_fwd (:tl:`MessageFwdHeader`):
            The original :tl:`MessageFwdHeader` instance.

        Any other attribute:
