Snippet

[From a story about self-discovery and love and identity, now finished.]


This one's called Lars' Lament. I think it would be good with music, but I'm not a musician. Here goes.

I sing a cowgirl's lonesome song.
My mount I ride, the day is long.

Come to me my trusted ride,
you, me 'nd Sage by our side.

Horse 'nd dog 'nd then there's me.
They said I'd say, "Let me be."

But know that ain't it at all.
I'd just as soon see you tall.

In that saddle we picked out,
chased that cougar plum clean rout.

So bed me down beneath the stars.
For all the world I'd be with Lars.

You could make a refrain and sing it, I think. But it says what I wanted it to.

Mr. Kabir,

Thank you for your message.

You are to be commended in placing your trust in me as an agent for the purchase and sales of investment and residential properties in Italy and Europe. You have made a wise choice, but I am skeptical that you realize it. My activities are not advertised on the Internet, for example, and you have contacted me through my personal assistant, K. Mactavish.

I have helped Chinese, African and American clients find and complete real property transactions which have made a difference for them, their families and humanitarian causes consistent with their cosmopolitan interests.

Before I can proceed, I ask you to provide detailed personal information and a financial statement along with your investment goals.

My clients are few and exclusive. They are also exceptional in that proceeds from sales are always invested back into their countries of origin, benefiting those most in need, of course in the most prudent and visionary ways.

Your thoughts on this last point will make the difference for me and whether I will accept the responsibilities you outline.

Sincerely,
K. Mactavish for
Stared Prdelkou

P. S. I do business with those I meet in person at agreed upon third country locations (e.g., Geneva, Switzerland), and fortunately I am in the position of receiving a guest not being one. I have many business offers each year but take on a mere two or three. I trust you can qualify as one of my clients with your selected project if it makes this a better world.
