Re: WE GOT A DEAL!!!!

Great news! We signed a term sheet for an


investment that we need to keep ourselves from
going belly up next week. I'd hate for
everyone's paycheck to bounce ... again. 

They want to look over just a couple things.


Shouldn't be much effort. See the attached short
list. I assume you can have this all ready to go
by the AM? Can't wait to close ASAP and get
back to growing our business!

Just checking to see if you're done with that


easy list of things for the investor yet? We're all
waiting for you to join us at the bar celebrating.
Hope you don't miss out on all the fun we're
having.

Re: WE GOT A DEAL!!!!

Hey, do you need help with that list of things


the investor wants? I thought it looked easy
enough.

I hope there aren't any issues, because if this


funding falls through I'll be back living with
my mother in Texas and we’ll never be able to
pay you or anyone else we owe money.

Bazinga!
