FROM : ARTHUR DRECO


Dear Dr Clerk,

I received your note and have some questions and concerns.

I'm a little concerned about the $22,000 required.

We have a gardener who is still a citizen of South Africa. If I bring my gardener can I get a discount on the non residential banking permit? If so how much of a discount would it be?


If not, the $22,000 would take a little while to gather. However, we do have an account of that size at the Institute that was earmarked for the Kenneth Lay Defence Fund. If you can assure me that the South African funds will be available within five days after my arrival I could temporarily borrow from that funding.

I am concerned about carrying $22,000 in cash. Why won't the bank accept a check or travelers checks? Karl Malden has assured me that travelers checks are accepted everywhere.

I could most likely come in July but I would like answers to questions before.
In any case, thank you for trying so hard with the bank

Your with affectation
Arthur Dreco
