Another e-mail from Tommy

Dear Brian,

I received your mail and the letter.

I want you to write to the probate attorney as promised by you today and make the part payment of $520 to him tomorrow or friday. Dont worry your mother will not die because that is not her portion and she too will also be happy when you confirm the money in your account and she will enjoy part of the funds.

I will write the letter according to your instructions that he should be in a ways as not educated like me for them to understand. I want you to send me a copies of the photographs, i will scan,sign and send the letter to you tomorrow morning my time when i get to my office. Like i told you to give me a call you refused why?

Please Brian, you make sure you send the $520 to him tomorrow.

Act Upon.

Regards,
Thomas Cole

and I reply

Sir,
I wrote the Barrister, he seemed to understand that it will be Friday until I am able to send the funds. I am overjoyed that you are going to help me out with the letter and the picture! I see this as a turning point in my life, and you are the defining factor. God bless you Thomas Cole, and everything you do in this world.

Regarding the picture, alas, I do not have a picture for you to just sign, I was hoping you could take one for me? I already described the picture to the TFP, which puts me in an awkward position. I can describe the picture to you, and if you can replicate it, I can send it over to them, and they would be satisfied. God be willing and graceful.

I told them that I took a picture of the Village Chieftain, and 2 other villagers who's lives I saved, they are holding a sign that says:
"Thank you TFP, without your efforts, everyone in this picture would be dead from Tympanic Membrane Disease"
Any 3 people would work, and the sign does not have to be very big, just large enough to read, written on white paper with a black marker. I tried to use my computer and make a replication photo using the painting program, but they said it needs to be a real picture. Please let me know if you can help me with this.

Regarding calling you on the telephone, I told you before that I am unable to purchase an international calling card in my area, they only one I can find is $75US. If you really want me to call you, I can use some of the $550US and buy one, but that would only leave me with $475US. Is that acceptable?

I want to know that my money from the TFP is coming before I use the $550 for anything.
May the sweet baby Jesus Bless our eyes and this transaction respectively,
Brain G. Sexton

so, seems like he is willing to help me out, that's good, I can't wait for my handwritten letter and picture!
