Hi,Helen.
Listen,I'd like to meet with you on Friday if you have time for lunch.
You said that you were looking for some good places to put your money.
I've recently heard of some very interesting investment opportunities.
It's a bit
complicated,and I don't have time to go into the
details right now.
But if you can give me about an hour on Friday,I think you'll be surprised.
