Well, it looks like he got the message. I just got this:
"This is his email address: [email protected]
Contact him immediately and get back to me."
followed immediatey by another email witrh his phone number telling me to call him. I'm expecting a carrier pigeon any minute now.
So I've established contact with the Diplomat now:
"I have been instructed to contact you by Dr. X. Apparently, you are already familiar with the situation. Please get back to me as soon as possible so that we may arrange a meeting and work out the details. I would like to resolve this situation in the very near future. Thank you."
Was that "diplomatic" enough?
I think it's cool to now have two characters in our little comedy. Everyone we can pile on adds to the potential for the confusion and chaos that is sure to ensue. |

Any word back from Mr Diplomat yet then? He must work so hard out there attending to all his diplomatic duties, the embassy must be missing him!! |

You betcha! Our Diplomat wasted no time getting back to me, and he came right to the point:
"Mr David,
The meting will be in Amsterdam Holland.Make sure you come with the clearing fee of (7,550 euros) of the consignment. Send your arrival schedule for appointment.
Regards,
Mr Dunn"
One thing does impress me here. Note the number Eur. 7550. Seems like an odd number until you do the current exchange rate. It comes out to just under $10K, and that of course is the limit on the amount of cash you can carry without having to declare it. Coincidence? I wonder.
So - advice, please. Should I try to spin this out more (negotiate the fee, claim trouble scraping it together, etc.) or should I just say "no worries, mate" so we can get right to the fun part in Amsterdam? I'm rather looking forward to this "meting". Hopefully we'll be meting out some laughs |

As you wish, make sure you have time in RL when arriving as the need for contact will rise, to make it hard on the lad back home, make it a Sunday Make arrangements with your phone contact so he/she has time, check web-cams for best time to watch and then plan your arrival.
After arriving you need a good story to avoid "personal" contact and a reason you fly home without seeing them. (it will be a hired hand, the real lad will stay home) and then try to twist it so you can have some fun doing it.
remember the hired hand needs to have fun too |

I would suggest that you drop a family crisis in the middle (your uncle has an accident in Belgium), you forced to change your schedule and landed in Brussels instead.
That should stall him for a while, and if you play it carefully he might travel to meet you |

The family crisis sidetrip is a great idea. Unfortunately it reduces my cred as a naive hick who knows nothing of Europe. Still, does Schiphol have a co-located train station? It's just possible Mr. Bone might mistakenly end up on the Trans-Europe Express thinking he's taking the trolley to downtown Amsterdam (I'm sort of thinking Mr. Magoo here
Anyway, here's what Mr. Bone told The Diplomat tonight. First we dangle the carrot, then throw a stick in the wheels.
"Dear Mr. Dunn,
I understand that you will require Eur. 7550. This sum will not be a problem. Please advise me of the exact name you would like to appear on the check. Should I make it payable to Dr. X, or to yourself?
Also, since I don't have an account in euros, please let me know how much that comes to in US dollars. That way I can go to the bank on Monday and get a check for the correct amount.
I am looking forward to meeting you soon in Amsterdam."
Gee, I wonder how he's going to take the idea of getting a check
After all, he never said cash, right? Heh heh. |

Cool! I'll keep that for reference. Although at this point it's not clear where we're going to meet yet. He's insisting on seeing my plane reservations before proceeding. So I need to generate a flight itinerary. I found one that looked good but you need a password to get in. |
