Subject: Next Symposium {:}...When I mean business I mean business.{:}

 

U were one of approximately 1500 individuals and groups representing non-government and government agencies around the world who I can count on forwarding what I wrote earlier to approximately 15,000 within the next 24 hours.

 

I know u have a number of things on your plate but may I suggest u seriously consider this the priority at this time.

 

What I am writing to u is identical to what I am writing to about 50 other people in what I believe to be the “same shoes” as u, just the names are different.

 

Then again each of us can only talk for ourselves and I only know for certain who I am just like I expect u know for certain who u r.

 

I am interested in one thing at this time and one thing only and that is the truth.

 

I am sick and tired of the excuses and the finger pointing and it is now time to put up

 

Or

 

shut up.

 

I have taken the initiative in getting the ball rolling, my communiqués to Yasmine Martin of Peru Rail spelling things out real well, agree?

 

And if u have trouble with what I have said

 

Or

 

R unsure what I mean even tho I have not laid out the entire business plan for providing clean drinking water and disposing of the waste water in an environmentally safe way may I suggest u discuss whatever it is that is unclear with Laerke as well as your partners and tell them I intend to continue following up with Ms. Martin and others within Peru Rail in addition to every single conglomerate both domestic and foreign operating within the borders of Peru to find out for certain a number of things including exactly what she meant about everyone in Aqua Calientes being a “bunch of thieves” [sic].

 

And perhaps once I have completed my “due diligence” I will agree with her and simply “write off” my investments, but u can bet your bottom dollar I will get my “ounce of flesh”, my time as u should have gathered by now a whole lot greater than the bucks I loaned u folks to help “kick start” your business.

 

How easy we forget to mention little of your decision to expand the business without first discussing such important matters with me.

 

Please go back and respond to the email I sent u on July 3rd.

 

The water project that we spoke about is as “sure a bet” as it gets and it requires no one having to put a dime.

 

I have spent the past several weeks “sweating the details” and the fact that it is not dependant on u

 

Or

 

Me

 

Or

 

Your Partners getting involved even in the minutest way should be heartwarming as well as chilling.

 

In other words this is one of those situations where the people who genuinely toil the soil cannot lose should u decide to simply be “chill” as in “Mr. Cool.”

 

On the other hand if u decide to join in then the “world can be your oyster.”

 

The choices are rather simple, u r either part of the solution

 

Or

 

You r part of the problem.

 

Take your pick.

 

Gg

 

Ps – Take however long u want in getting back to me.

 

I don’t want to hear any excuses about u being on vacation, not able to get hold of your partners, your tooth aching,

 

Or

 

Simply out of touch since u have a business to run, one that was “kick started” with my hard earned funds.

 

Your kindness and generosity were very much appreciated on this trip but we cannot forget the importance of doing more in this world then simply taking up space.

 

I have zero time for bullshitters

 

Or

 

Folks who only come out of the shadows when it suits them providing the downtrodden nothing more than a false sense of security, which is why I detest the most those with liberal leanings who talk most of the time with their fricken educated forked tongues.

 

In a nutshell, I detest those who derive great satisfaction in exceeding the limits of their small authority, i.e. evil does not come in the form of a pointed tail

 

Or

 

Pitched fork.

 

When I mean business I mean business.
