Paul Gets Mad...December 6, 2007

I have today been subjected to the most unbelievable and unreasonable tirade from both partners on client #2 project with regard their project, the funding process and the transfer of funds..Consequence of this... you can please take note of the following facts and information....Fact... 1. Given that these two initial projects Clients #1 and #2 are being funded out of my own personal funds.. (i.e. my commissions from work that I have personally done with the Trust and further that as a result of these earnings I was happy to "put that money back into circulation" it is my decision to proceed or stop as and when I see fit.2. Yes we have all suffered because of these delays.. which have been completely out of my control and beyond the control of my bankers and or attorney / lawyers.. and despite what they had to say in his opening gambit this morning... I most certainly do understand.. none the less the people in Africa who I support.. having to wait for the money before we can get the next shipment of food aid over to them.. 40 tonnes of it are sitting in containers waiting to be airlifted.. right now as we speak.. so people like him do not really know what they are saying.. and I accept that is because of ignorance.. only problem is that some people have more ignorance than others.3. Would any banker or lender be happy to receive the type of emails that these two gentlemen have been party too in the past few days.. yes there have been delays.. and as above apart from the serious and on going need to have monies available for the projects and peoples that I support both here in New Zealand as well as other Aid activities that my trust, my company and my family look after.. we also have two settlements that we are seeking to have completed.. and that is hurting me here personally as well.. so YES I do understand.. However those matters aside... please consider that the matter with Client #2 is at an end.. and accordingly the funds as transferred to my accounts herein New Zealand will be returned to your office forthwith.Under no circumstances would I ever have considered lending money to either of these people iftheir lack of business acumen and or professionalism had been displayed to me prior to theirapplication landing on my desk.The other transactions currently being processed will continue to a conclusion and be funded in due course.Yours sincerely, Paul Douglas

No funds were ever returned to this client and they are still not funded!
