RE:

i want to be helpful, if you are comfortable giving up the jewlery as collateral. i would do the 125k . I dont like the idea of asking for it. but it makes the transaction commercial to defend. . if not I understand. i feel awkward asking for it. but I think if you really beleive in this thing you shoudl have no issue.

Jeffrey- I am finished with my meeting and available to talk — collateral is no problem and I understand u feeling awkward but I have no issue with it — I forgot I have some original Russian paintings I had purchased for my PB home in the 90s — they r in storage and I could bring them to NY as collateral (I thought better than jewelry if u wish)— there r 4 original paintings I paid over 150k in Europe from 1992-99 — I really need funding today and I will send u wiring info shortly — thank u again -- Nick
