Hey Christian;

I just happen to have one matching that *EXACT* description, sitting
in my safe-deposit box at the BofA.

You send me a bank cheque for $250K and when it clears, I'll send you

If you're not completely satisfied with what you get, when I get
settled in Argentina, I'll send you my new address.

Hasta La Vista;
W6ESE - tony
