Margaret, my one and only question at this time, 5:00PM PST, is how are you calculating my 10%?

 

First, I must tell you I just took a very quick look at the numbers in your previous email and I simply couldn’t make “head or tail” of anything other than the dates in the left column.

 

My deal with you was, I thought, quite straightforward, that I would receive 10% of the “take” although the word I used when we discussed these matters was that I would be paid “10% of the gross” that out of the remaining 90% you would be responsible for everything including cost of goods, wages, water, electricity, taxes etc etc, that instead of paying me a fixed amount of rent regardless of how much business you did; the general rule of thumb of most folks in my position, as owner of the facility, taking both a fixed amount as rent as well as a percentage of the “gross”.

 

Now again, I looked at only one of the attachments in the previous email which I have attached to this email so I may have simply “jumped the gun.”

 

At the present time I am involved in a number of other projects that require I stay sumwhat focused, my most recent communication to a Mr. Jeff Rabin, an investigative journalist for the Los Angeles Times which I sent out last evening which you can see in the hyperlink above giving you some sense of why my “elevated status” at least amongst “serfers” should help bring, in time, more customers to Ccrest.

 

I would like you to share this email with our neighbor Mike who as a former bank manager for one of the most respected banks in all England, not that the All England cricketers or rugby players are better than “us” South Africans to mention little of my plans to once again resume playing touch rugby here on the beach in Del Mar, may in fact have some thoughts on how you can make your life a whole lot easier by simply providing me on a weekly basis with something along the following lines.

 

Date                Gross Sales               Marie+Gary’s 10%

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

 

Before I left Minehead I had told Mike that I would be sending him some material that he might see as nothing more than toilet reading but I have purposefully bided my time before wanting “tu wa.st” [sic] any of his precious time.

 

Each of our time here on this planet is precious, none of us more important than the next person; it is though, I believe, up to each one of us tu avoid simply taking up space.

 

No one knows better than you the issues I have had to deal with in the past as it relates to the former managers that ran Seacrest=Ccrest my hope was that both groups would recognize the incredible opportunity I was giving them, to be the best they could be, recognizing that hope, at best, comes in a bottle of perfume, that in fact there is no such thing as luck, that in the words of Pythagoras, “Number is the essence of all things, the choices made simple, good or evil” [sic].

 

The more options, the greater the complexities of life.

 

I like to keep things simple but not stupid; making it my business to telegraph my punches long be4 anyone would be so dumb enough to take me for a fool but that doesn’t however, stop folks from trying, the best example to date Marie’s former husband, Dr. JBS et al, who because he has not been punished severely enough 4 the wrongs committed against both Marie & me continues to play foul, my ability though, to keep up with him as well as other made so much easier by the advent of the Digital Age.

 

I am not naïve, even though my one uncle, David Gevisser, once referred to me as such, David Gevisser although having the worst stutter of anyone I knew the sole executor of Charles Engelhard’s worldwide estate; at one time many folks would have argued, in opinion correctly, that Charles Engelhard was the wealthiest person on the planet his control of the world’s platinum supplies just the tip of his vast holdings.

 

I have a certain amount of respect for people like David Gevisser but as you will see as you go through my emails starting with the one to Mr. Rabin, despite my ability to maintain a sense of humor, I am a very serious businessman although trader is probably more appropriate, Marie though thinking a rattlesnake better describes me, certainly she doesn’t care for The Pisser.

 

Moreover, I am about to launch an ad campaign around the world that has people like my uncle David Gevisser who is, I believe, still very good friends with my mother, Zena Gevisser Zulman, not just speechless butt shaking in his boots.

 

Nothing quite like having an “ace” in your back pocket such as my incredible wife Marie who of course in the event I were to take a “slip & fall” would provide all the backup the likes of Mr. Krinsk Esq. and Mr. Devin Standard would need.

 

I don’t believe in giving folks who have screwed around an escape hatch but prefer rather to take them on an educational journal and of course I love to ride my Ducati especially with Marie on the back.

 

And although I am well aware of the dangers, I make it my business to live life to the fullest knowing that when it comes time to meet my maker, I will be able to look him square in the eye, and without either of us saying a word, He will know that not only do I always tell the truth but I have done as much as can be expected out of one human being who continues to have faults no matter how many other lives I may have lived including no doubt at least once as an ant.

 

I will wait to hear from you before examining either this or the previous communication in any detail.

 

 

Be well,

 

Gary

 

Ps – I am copying both Devin Standard as well as Jeffrey R. Krinsk Esq the two co-executors of my estate as well as a handful or too of other folks including my friend Michael Grant who when not in training for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship “Brass Ring” likes to hang out in quiet spots. Another great feature of Michael’s is his incredible ability to attract a following; his stats pretty much tell it all, other than the fact that, he is, as Marie says, “Very sweet.”

Dear Gary

 

Enclosed ( second e-mail sent) figures. I hope they meet with your approval and you understand them. Business has fallen a lot this last week, we are circulating posters and cards to advice people we shall be open for the winter months Thurs-Sun inc. so we shall see how it goes, we will show you the adverts once printed.

 

The electric man came to inspect the matters to be seen to-

1. Socket for toaster to be replaced as one half had blown prior to my coming.

2. Above where the fridges are in the corner do you remember all those cables attatched to plugs, he said they need sorting for safety measures.

3. He advices another socket where the fryers are beside of the cooker for the oven ignition plug.

4. He looked at fuse box to check and was not very happy. the trip box needs replacing. wires loose and not connected.

5. He checked heater on the hall in tea rooms it is not working do you think we should replace with something else.

 

not very good news, I am sorry I have asked for an estimate and he will let me know.

 

Hope you are all well

 

Margaret
