Everything is fine. Busy but fine. It seems like every night has some activity or obligation that has to be take care of. Ben has scouts every Tuesday. Gabe has scouts every-other-Wednesday. There have been candy-related obligations and cookie-related obligations. Tonight I have a scout committee meeting to go to. Last night I got a chance to install a new video card in my computer, which I finally got our of storage.

We’re going to fix up the basement sometime soon and I’ll have to get a new desk for that room, but I didn’t want to give up my computer for that whole time so I got a KVM switch from Microcenter in Cambridge. Its a gizmo that allows me to share the keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) of one of the kids’ computers. So I last night I spent the evening installing operating system updates, virus scan updates and World of Warcraft updates. I also had a chance to run some demonstrations of the new board’s abilities and I’m really excited about it.

Its an excellent board. its a geForce 7800GS OC - My old computer was getting a little long in the tooth to run the games I wanted to play so I was faced with either upgrading the computer or putting a hotshit video card in. I wasn’t prepared to pay all the money that would be necessary to get the computer I want so I went with the new card instead. I have to try downloading some demos of the newest and most exciting games and see how they do.

I don’t think we have anything going on Friday, but on Saturday Grace is having a birthday party at an indoor playground and is having a bunch of guests. Friends of ours from Maine are coming down and local friends are coming too. it should be a lot of fun.

Ben won’t be there because he has a five mile hike followed by a camping trip. They’ll be hiking from a local church parking lot to a boyscout camp that’s about five miles from here. The weather forecast is calling for a high of about 50 and low’s around 38. That should be fine for him. He’s camped in colder conditions.

After the party I will swing by and make sure his tent is set up and drop off his camping gear. I remember doing some of the same things when I was his age and its a great time to be a scout. It was very exciting going off and doing these things without your parents.

So, there’s lots of things going on - its busy but we’re getting things done.

Department of Minerals and Energy

Hey Hey Hey! This is great news! Get a load of this! I’m going to earn $6.8 million! Wow, am I lucky.

Look at this letter I got:

South Africa

DEPARTMENT OF MINERALS AND ENERGY.

I am Dr. Gerrard Tosi,Director of Project Implementation, South Africa Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources. I am making this contact with you based on the committee’s need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us with a solution to a money transfer.

First and foremost, I apologize using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a respected and honest person to handle this transaction with sincerity, trust and confidentiality.

I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources where I work as Director of Project Implementation and with the cooperation of our other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Seventeen Million United States Dollars (US$17,000,000,000.) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate an offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.

This amount $17M represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval toremit by Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Ministry of Justice here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 40% of the $17 million, 50% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.

Endeavor to contact me immediately through my DIRECT EMAIL to confirm whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and please, remember to treat this matter very confidential, because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service. Once again, remember that time is of great essence in this transaction.

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,

DR.GERRARD TOSI
