Tried to email you, but it bounced. I'm still in the same place, so if you shoot me an email, I'll update my contacts (and ask my question).

Posted by: cassie-b at July 24, 2010 07:29 AMI don't think so. At current exchange rates that 6,500 pounds would be $10,000. And why wouldn't the guy be able to find a British subject? Why prospect through email?
