Matt,

Your response was a well deserved tonic and I have to thank you very well as we have progressed a step further.

In any case let me pick your questions one after the the other : The merchandise is already in Holland and I belive its ripe for your passport for Visa.

You made a statement that you consider the notion of faxing either your drivers licence or passport crazy and insane which I belive is an overstatement and insult to my person and I am beging your pardon to withdraw that staement. Meanwhile the issue of you setting up another personal Id number does not equally arise as what is required of me is just to disclose the personal number to you which you shall quote to the officials of the security company in Holland when asked.

I am married with four children. 1. May I ask how old are you and how many children you have if at all you are married. 2. What is your position in your place of work give me your home phone number as I felt insecure to call you on a phone with extention number.

Please give me an answer to the above questions in your next reply. Please just have in mind that you are expected in Europe either this week or early next week so as to arrange your schedule. Expecting your response and if posible call me on 234 1- 775 -7079 or 234 -803-3307969.

Regards,
Duncan Ige.

"Security reasons"? More like: "A fish is catching up to me reasons"

Brother Duncan,

Many compliments of the day!!

Thank you for your reply and I apologize for taking so long to get back to you, I don't ordinarily check email on the weekends, looks like that policy will have to change.

I did not mean to suggest that you are personally crazy and insane, just that the idea of sending information that personal is. Who knows what can happen when the information is going over the wires? Somebody might steal the signal out of the air, or I might dial the wrong number, and then there will be no end to the trouble and problems that can cause. We will both soon be men with means, and we cannot allow any misstep that will immediately rob us of our hard-earned wealth as soon as we get it.

I understand your nervousness calling a number with an extension, it is the same nervousness I outlined above. Do not worry though, my home number there is: 330-867-5309. Holland sounds wonderful, we can go there and have a great time with our millions. I am married, 34 years old and I have 2 children, 2 boys, Huey and Luey.

The only problem is how soon the trip must be, the postion in my job is Finance Director, due to the importance and sensitive nature of the job it is not very easy to leave on short notice. I have been thinking about that and I have 2 solutions:

1) I could quit the job outright since very soon I will have no further need to work, or

2) Next week perhaps I could leave Thursday night for the airport, and return to work Tuesday morning. That will give us 2 business days to take care of our business and 2 weekend days to see the city and get to know each other better.

Please let me know which you think is better. Also, I have been thinking about the Personal ID number issue. That one was a little tougher, but I think I have a solution. We can both take pictures with a code phrase, and send them to each other. Then, when we meet in Holland we can show each other our id's, and see if they match to the pictures.

I will go to the photo studio tonight and get my pictures and then email them tomorrow. The code word will be "Mr. David Lee Roth" printed on a white piece of paper that I will hold in the picture. You must do the same so that we can know the pictures are accurate when we meet in Holland.

Well, this has been a long email, and covered much ground, I will end for now and say I am so very glad God has brought us together for our mutual benefit.

Matt



It's a conundrum alright, I just don't know what to do...
