Subject: Re: trader warning

Suffice it to say, Greg, that He was quite adamant that He was the expert
& that,  in His country, His banks made no distinction between a normal,
personal, every-day cheque versus a proper bank cheque, drawn on a bank
 in his country, as is the usual case when I do business overseas elsewhere. 
He also wanted
the personal cheque to be in Euros (bizarre in retrosopect). It was as if he 
had a nasty agenda
 as he never tried to emulate the old adage of, "the customer is always 
right"; but
by then it was too late anyhow. So an Aussie personal cheque for Euros was 
not honoured
despite his prognostications (remember the poem refers to me biiting my 
nails in waiting)

I still have plenty of credit now as I did then, in my personal cheque 
accounts.

I had better leave it there, Greg.

Best wishes

Dr Raf Giaccio, MD.
