Oh misery! Can you believe it?
J Cosmo was caught at the airport with a briefcase full of money.
He writes to the three parties:
Dear Mr Opong,
My arrival has been delayed by one (1) week due to an unfortunate misunderstanding at this end.
I apologise for the delay,
As before, I look forward to meeting you.
Yours sincerely,
J. Cosmo Newbery.
Dear Dr Blore,
I have been delayed in leaving the country by a silly disagreement with currency agents at the airport.
They objected to me leaving the country with US$240,000.
Dopey bastards! I could not get them to understand the importance of this deal. More over they kept me in the remand centre over the weekend.
I have briefed my lawyers to mount a restraint of liberty case against them.
Anyway, the upshot of this is that I will now be arriving one week later than I first advised.
I apologise for any inconvenience.
Yours sincerely,
J. Cosmo Newbery.
Dear Mrs Esther,
I have had a rotten few days.
I got as far as the airport and got stopped by the Currency Control Agents. They objected to me leaving the country with $240,000 in cash in a briefcase. "It's US money " I said, "What should you worry? You're Australian!". But they wouldn't budge.
I even tried explain that it was for payment of an important international vaccine transaction but to no avail.
So I will have too try another tack.
Sadly this has put my entire schedule back one week. The airlines were very good about it.
I look forward to seeing you Wednesday next week.
Very best wishes,
Cosmo.
