Two weeks go by with
no response. With nothing to lose I play the "Don't you trust me?"
card:
My Dear Engr. Akpeki,
Are you alright?
I have not heard back from you
since I last wrote.
Is it because I am a woman? Does
that worry you?
Do you think I cannot handle
finances? I think I should tell you that I have just returned from a National
Fundfraising Convention and the people there spoke very highly of my ability.
The Chairman of the committee told
me himself that he would love me to handle his assets. Apparently his family
has jewels.
Please, even if you do not wish to
use our facility, could you tell me why I am not acceptable. When I know what
my faults are I can work to remove them.
God bless you, whatever you
decide.
Yours sincerely, Mavis.
