The phone has been ringing a lot! The following message came from Nelson:

Big brother,

I am hapy that we are not meeting in Singapore because I cannot afford to stay in such a hot zone, (Well, there you go. I would have thought Nigeria was a bit hot too.) thank God you were just there on a transit.

I was out of Lagos yesaterday to see my client Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha because I have to tell her that I will be leaving to morrow and then discuss with her on some important issue. She is fine and sends greeting to you.

I tried to call you yesterday but there was no response so assumed you must have left, anyway I wish you a safe trip to Cotonou. I will be there tomorrow, just let me know where you are if you have access to phone or computer some where.

Best regards,
Nelson.
