Dear William Givens,

How did you know I need some money? Did my brother tell you? I asked him if I could borrow some cash from him, but he didn't have it, so did Horace tell you to contact me?

What kind of interest do you charge? You said 3%, but that can't be right. Let me know what the deal is.

[Naive and optimistic, I send him my "informations"...]

Dear William Givens:

As you can see, I don't need too much money, but this would pay off my reverse mortgage I took out several years ago, when the wife was sick with the vapors. With your loan paying off that mortgage (it has a good interest rate, but the payment would be lower, so you can see it would really get me out of a big debt load.

Is this all you need for now? I have to go to Vermont to help my cousin, they're building a new pole barn, and he wants to put in some hog-butchering equipment, so he wants my expertise. I will be gone from Thursday (17th) to Friday next week (25th). My cousin Vinny is so happy that I can help him, he's even paying for the gas for me to drive up there!

If you can reply before Thursday, I can go to Vermont worry-free.

[This goes out Tuesday evening...]

Mr. Givens,

I'm sorry, I don't understand this paragraph:

"...Note; this firm only grant that small kind of loan repayment period for companies and registered world individuals, and sure the medical records and security will be verified and scrutinized ,please we have accessed giving you 8 years and that is the best we can do..."

Does this mean that all you can offer me is an 8-year loan? If this is the case, why do you say I must make 120 payments? If an 8-year loan is not in the picture, why do you mention it? Payments of $326.17 would only recoup you less than $31,500--you would LOSE more than $6500, which isn't good business, you know.

As far as the bank information goes, I can get that for you when I go to see my banker, Miss Ann Thrope, tomorrow, to take care of getting some money for my trip to help my cousin Vinny.

I bank at the First Interstate Bank of Tillispond, NC (the next town over, it's a little larger town than Suddenurge, and has a bigger bank. They even have a Blockbuster) I can send a copy of my driving license for you. It's still valid, even though I don't have a car. My town is so small, I don't need a car. When I was working, it was different.

Let me know what you think of this, OK?

Hello Hosen

I am in receipt of your email, and the corrections that you stated, concerning the paragraph that u quoted'

"...Note; this firm only grant that small kind of loan repayment period for companies and registered world individuals, and sure the medical records and security will be verified and scrutinized ,please we have accessed giving you 8 years and that is the best we can do..."

it explains that all needed loan passes through a screened check, the 120 payments signify 120 months, that is 10 years though we considered giving you 8 years, your loan was insured and approved for a repayment period of 120 months, in your favor, this is to say that your principal loan amount is $ 38,000 USD, calculated repayment period of 10 years , being $ 326.17 USD as monthly installment, with a 3% interest rate of $ 1,140 USD, I am sorry , all calculations were done by expert in these fields and checked for possible error already, so we can proceed with the providence of your Driving License ,and Bank account details, needed for the transfer of your funds and your Non Residential Certificate, YOU ARE IN OUR TRANSFERLIST FOR TOMORROW. If only you are able to receive call

I AWAIT YOUR REPLY.

Mr. Givens
Harald O. Sens

[We must correct this faux pas immediately...]

Mr. Givens:

I am just going out the door, to see Miss Ann Thrope, my banker, and I check my mail program to see this from you.

Why do you address me as 'Hosen'? That is part of my email address--and you omitted the 2nd "S"of my surname into the bargain! Hosen is not my name. My name is Harald, you may address me as "Harald" if you wish, but don't call me Hosen'!

This makes me think that you do not care what my name is, or who I am! If this is the case, we can cease doing business right now. I'm sure that I can negotiate a good re-finance rate with my bank since I am a good, long-time, steady, and reliable customer, so your loan offer is on the line.

Get back to me immediately.
