Dear RP,

Before we go too far down the line I think it important that we establish first that you are not “conflicted out”.

As of this past Friday 9/17 at 9:21 AM I believed I had an “iron clad” deal with Mr. Alan Friedman and his partner-client Mr. Guirguis to purchase my 6 unit-condo project that you helped with the White Paper [separate title on each unit] back I believe it was in 1994, Mr. Friedman’s email below spelling it all out:

YES WE HAVE A DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Alan

The day before I had emailed Mr. Friedman at 4:27 PM the following:

“...Before I bother looking at them [purchase agreement] can u tell me that we actually have a deal? Yes or no would be suffice.

That same day at 2:34 PM, I sent Mr. Friedman a rather wordy email that contained the essence of my concern that by his and partner-client wanting 6 separate escrows they might trigger the City of Santa Monica hitting me with tax equivalent to one year’s gross rents which I made patently clear I was not going to go for:

Not to suggest that u folks were looking to have me eating the pitiful fees which would be due to the City of Santa Monica should I sell off each unit individually.

Ps – Don’t bother replying unless u concur with the above...

Earlier in the day at 11:56 AM, Mr. Friedman had emailed me the following:

RP, I make it my business to be as clear and precise as possible bearing in mind that in this “dog eat god” [sic] world I have managed to do rather well, mostly by keeping my incredibly big Jewish nose as clean as any single human being I have ever met while taking those who build into their “cost of goods” the “cost of getting caught” on educational light journeys, nothing gained by providing such rapacious individuals with an escape hatch that has them simply first and foremost doing damage to the space between the ears of those they are hell bent on nailing to the cross while feeling empowered by such bloodletting to beat up on the next person they come across and with insurance in hand, the good paying for the misdeeds of the wicked such out of control characters can then afford to pay a panhandler to rummage thru the garbage find a banana peel which they then chuck on the ground just as they kick the next man-woman in the behind who so incredibly shell shocked cannot even think to file a “slip and fall” workers compensation claim citing this landmark multi-million dollar repetitive stress injury case that got me my first international attention.

Altho given the pollution I have inhaled these past 47 years along with the odd particle of Aspartame my memory may not serve me all that well nor could I be any more saintlier than my amazing paternal grandfather who built up a multi-national trading conglomerate by first pushing a wheelbarrow at the turn of the last century picking up unbroken bottles off the streets of Durban, South Africa, but in recent years my business while mostly retired, coaching the most rapacious shareholder class action litigators, “how to respond to fast balls thrown at or near head” probably in relative terms places me at a distinct advantage over Israel “Issy” Gevisser as well as his amazing son, my amazing father, Bernard Nathan Gevisser, so proud am I of my dad who while a teenager qualified as a fighter-bomber-pilot before bombing the crap out of the Nazi bastards during WW2.

Everything with Mr. Friedman “blew up” when I told him this past Saturday morning that I would only sign the purchase agreement if he were to attach all our emails “back and forth” as an addendum to the purchase agreements so as to minimize any misunderstandings.

When I started to point out my reasons for doing so Mr. Friedman who was some 15 minutes away from teeing off on his lover, no strike that, on O.J. Simpson, no strike that, on proving what a man he is on some Rizty fukukta golf course in Los Angeles that he felt the need to once again consult with his partner-client “Mr. Ginnis” [sic] who then apparently said, “No deal!” if in fact he was going to be burdened with the City Tax in the ballpark of less than a $100K.

Mr. Friedman was patently aware of my eagerness to sell this “one of a kind property”, not that I am a “desperate seller” in the traditional sense but given all the other stuff I have on my plate including putting the finishing touches to my book, Manager Minute One which I believe in time, no strike that, which I know in time will become as big a best seller as the Bible, I saw no reason to hold on to this property even if I could make a godzillian, trillion, billion dollars as inflation here in the U.S. goes thru the roof which is why I insisted on a 15 day escrow.

The bottom line is that I am prepared to sue Mr. Friedman, Mr. Guiguis et al whether or not they have sufficient liability insurance coverage in effect for the simple reason I have absolutely no faith in the ability of any insurance carrier to meet its obligations over the course of the next 24 hours let alone how long it would take to see this matter thru the courts even if u were able to get it on to a “fast track”, my main point of suing them assuming in fact they have committed a single “actionable wrong” including farting in a public place, given the fact that a fart is airborne particles of feces, would be to embarrass the crap out these rascals who may have taken me for some ignorant ugly-duckling Jew, which of course I am.

And yes why not look into whether my civil rights as a Lilly White Wheaty Eating Midget-armed Jew boy have been violated bearing in mind that I happen to believe very strongly that the early Christians got it absolutely correct that more than a handful of us “kosher” Jewish people were at best hypocrites along with all the others wrapping themselves in religious ornamentation while colluding on beating up on the poor and downtrodden with guilt and whathaveyou.

Now I could go and on and the last thing I want to do is start a holy war amongst us Jewish people bearing in mind the utter nonsense about the lost tribe of Israel that disappeared not exactly in to thin air but who in all likelihood got the living daylights beaten out of them by the remaining Jewish tribes, agree?

And u don’t want to get me started on the Romans who morphed into the Roman Catholic Church or what rationale I can come with as to why there are some 50% odd of us Gevisser boys homosexual, but at some point u will very likely pay attention to “sum” [sic] of the other stuff I have a rather good handle on including a better than average grasp of mathematics and science with a whole lot of good common business sense thrown in for good measure, then again for all I know u could be both Mr. Friedman and his client-partner, agree?

Please let me know what u think?

Yours truly,

Gary S. Gevisser

Ps – Tomorrow – I will be available to possibly meet with you, altho I much prefer to communicate via email.
