thank you for writing back, some more questions

[Guest guest]

hello sir ,

i would like to profusely thank you for writing back to me ,

you asked me why would the snake gem owner want to sell it

well the answer is that he apparently hasnt prospered even after he

found the gem he has a lot of financial liabilities to take care of ,

and one of his lenders seems to be pressurising him to dispose off

the gem to recover back his dues as the lender is one of the

middlemen involved (a typical sob story not very original but then

thats what i heard )there is a certain group of people in mumbai who

met me and stated that if i paid the "tester fees" (non refundable)to

some icici bank account in delhi , some "company tester" (whatever

that means )would fly down to mumbai and accompany me to the owners

place and check the gem for it s genuineness and then call his

employers"the company"(sic)and pay the quoted amount and take

possesion of the gem ,(sounds like pure unadulterated hogwash to my

ears i infact pointed out at them and laughed my guts out because the

story seemed to be so absurd.) i am writing to you out of sheer

curiousity , do these kinds of deals actually take place , what are

your views regarding the abovementioned matter. are there really any

buyers for this kind of stuff who would pay an unheard of absurd

amount for some thing like a snake gem?please enlighten me .

thank you again for your time

goodbye and godbless

with love from india
