I've been baiting a lad for a while as a woman and have even sent him a pic of me. Now the blighter (quaint expression) is calling me his Brother.....

Quote:

My Dear Brother,

I do not know how to thank you. I have managed to reduce
the volume. I will send it through attachement.

Please my brother, go through it before you forward them.

I have prepared everything under preassure, please help me
and God will bless you.

Please confirm the receipt.

Vincent

Anyway, I have been pressuring him to give me a business plan and this is what he's sent me after working on it for a couple of weeks.

It still needs lots of work on it before I send him the $100,000.

This will build trust among competing business to raise the standard of the in addition upgrading the newsletter to a monthly publication and email notices-will improve the flow in critical information awareness of the benefits of membership.

My character was so pissed of with him she sent him this:

Quote:

I am incandescent with anger by your last email. How long have we been exchanging emails? Did you receive my photo? How would you like to be addressed as Dear Sister? Are you taking drugs or alcohol? I'm a woman for Gods sake!! Please treat me accordingly.

Now then, the Business Plan. It's not what we were expecting but it has managed to delay the decision to donate the money to another charity for a week - and only a week.

We were expecting it to be in USD. How can we be expected to know the costs unless it is in USD. Secondly, we need a detailed explanation as to how these figures were arrived at. Thirdly, more details about the Board of Trustees - who are they and their backgrounds. Point 1.1 states the charity is a legal entity. We need to need the registration documents.

XXXXXX

P.S This is a short terse email because I'm so very angry with you right now. There is so much more I want to say to you but the needs of the charity must come first.

Managed to get a groveling emal back:

Quote:

My Dearest XXXXXXX,

I can feel your anger all over me. I am very sorry for such a blunder. Please forgive me for such a mistake. I know how this kind of a thing hurts; I know it is a painful thing. Please accept my apology.

I drafted two mails yesterday and asked my new staff to assist me type out the mails and send to you and the other to my junior brother, because I was rushing to Welfare department to sign some documents in respect of the final aspect of the registration of the orphanage. I wonder what he was thinking when he addressed you as ?My dear Brother? I was so angry yesterday that I fired him immediately. But, I woke up this morning and decided to call him back because he is a family man . I have decided not to ask him to assist me send any mail again

I do not take drugs and for the past 6months I have not tested alcohol. How could I have addressed a queen that you are as ?my brother?? I did receive your picture. I was waiting for the right time to comment on that. I have seen not only your facial beauty but also your inner beauty, which counts more than the outer beauty. I have seen the beauty in you from your previous mails. I have seen that you are a kind person. You are not just a woman; you are a very beautiful woman, made by God on a special day. A rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley, an apple tree among the trees of the forest. How could I have addressed you like that?

May you find it in your heart to accept my apology? ?Please say to me you are not angry with me any more. I can still feel your anger. You have done everything. You have been able to hold on up to this time. I beg of you to finish this good work you have stated.

On the business plan, I thought I indicated the exchange rate of Rand to Dollar, which is R6-USD1. I shall put everything right the way you want it.

However, most figures are based on mere assumption. I shall endeavor to be more explicit. We are just beginning; we hope to take up to 80-100 children for a start as soon as the certificate is out. I remember that I have told you something about the accommodation and the certificate. I also mentioned the bank issue and we later agreed to hold on until the certificate is ready. And when your friends mounted pressure on you for the business plan you then asked me to try and put something you can at least show to them. We cannot bring these children together without getting the necessary things like the accommodation and certificate. We may be charged and prosecuted. The money we are sourcing from God spirited people like you and your friends is to get a good accommodation for the orphans. I remember I told you about that. I also told you that the registration of this charity home has not yet been completed. Although the name ?VINCENT CHARITY ORG? has been accepted and approved, but it takes time to complete the remaining aspect of the registration which I was called upon to sign some documents yesterday.

. I was driven by the plight of these children whom are scattered all over the places with no one to carter for them. Remember that you swung into action immediately you received my first mail for assistance and you were able to put together the sum of US100, 000.00 within a very short period. And something told me that you are God sent for these children. How I wish you could phone the authority to ask about the name ?VINCENT CHARITY ORGANIZATION? If the registration has been completed and if not what is holding it. I believe they will be able to tell you something about that.

Remember I told you in one of my mails that the consultant, whom I asked to prepare the business plan had an accident. And that I will manage to put something together because of your friends who wanted this the business plan before the release of the fund. He was discharged few days ago and he told me categorically that a complete business plan must include the charity number and the registration number. These two number are not in the business plan I sent to you yesterday because the certificate is not ready yet.

Have you forgotten that you were the one that gave me the website where I can find Business Plan?

XXXXXXX, I want to say some thing about the board of trustees. The law requires that they must be Board of trustees in the registrations of any charity organization in the country. The three people we have chosen as members of board of trustees are just elderly men whom I feel I can run to for few advise if the need arises. They are there because the law requires them. They are not playing any significant role. They may be of help financially in the nearest future if they chose to. We have not banked on them for any financial support but for moral support.

In conclusion XXXXXXX, I do not have the guarantee that the certificate will be ready within this one week you gave me. I will of course try my best and leave the rest to God. But you may wish to phone the authority in charge of the registration. I have suggested that you phone the authority in charge because I want you to be part of this. I want you now and in the nearest future. I want you around on the day that the doors of this charity home will be open. You have show that you are a woman of substance. You have proven that you are the kind of person one will trust. I want you to do more than the great things you have done. One accommodation was reserved for us based on the amount you have raised for charity.

What do I do now? I want to hear from you that you have forgiven me. Please it is very important. It was all my fault because I allowed it.

Thanks for your understanding

XXXXXXX

I think he should stew for a day or so before I reply.

This is excellent!

I have a lad starting a business center for me and had not even thought about something like this as a hoop for him to jump through. Would you mind sharing the link where the original directions for making the plan was so that I can get my lad started right away?
