Q: Mark and Jeff: There is an impression circulating among some of the commercial teams that their compensation may be directly linked to asset dispositions, ie. success fees. Apparently, this may have started due to "rumors" that the London Receiver is allowing for such payments--for example, the pending Arcos turbine sale. This is unsubstantiated, but may be worthy of inquiry. Accordingly, in at least one domestic example, it is my understanding that the deal team was fairly unmotivated until they heard about the London "arrangement" and are now pursuing with great exuberance. Maybe this is a good thing, but clearly an arrangement that needs to be vetted and then communicated so people understand what the "rules" may be.

Q: You always make me laugh. Why don't you just pay for you. You've been footing the bill for Amanda & her friends all these years; it's your turn to take a break! By the way, I don't remember pointing out that she is spoiled - thinking it often enough, but not pointing it out. Of course we both know how my tongue loosens and my memory locks up in direct proportion to the volume of alcohol consumed.....

I think it is lovely that you are giving Amanda a graduation gift but - trust me - should would rather have another pair of earrings than have a free seat for me on the boat. I didn't even know you when I graduated so it is much too late to give me a graduation present. Won't you let me pay half ( the half of the boat that Bill and I are occupying)? As you have pointed out amanda is too too spoiled. Did anyone get you a yacht when you graduated?

Q: Hi Chris, As promised, I have phoned the IRS today and spoken with a representative who was able to tell me that the original request for the trace on your cheque on September 19 was rejected by their system on October 22. He told me that he couldn't tell me why because the IRS aren't sure either why the system rejected it. As such, a new request for a trace was placed on October 22 and now the IRS are asking us to wait until December 17. The IRS told me that you should receive a letter called a 510C letter from them. I have changed your address with the IRS from Texas to Calgary. I would ask that when you receive this letter to fax a copy to my attention at 781-1825 for our files. I know that this probably isn't the news you were hoping to hear, but at least it's some news. I have made a note to follow up with the IRS again on December 17 and hopefully by then they will have good news in time for the holidays! Again, don't hesitate to contact either Judy or myself should you hear anything further from the IRS, receive your cheque(!) or have any other questions or concerns. Kind regards,
