So, from what you said in your earlier e-mails, I'm presuming 

that you will be able to change the name of your beneficiary and 

issue a power of attorney by simple fax.  If you are able to do this 

on Monday, I would imagine that we could have everything in the 

works by when Constance arrives in Madrid at the end of the week.  

Constance also, of course, needs the address of the place she is 

going in Madrid.  I am trusting you that there is no danger to her in 

going to this place.  Let us know if there might be some advantage 

to her bringing along a couple of her more muscular friends from her 

church.

Since Constance is the one in Spain, not me, the documents should 

be in her name.  Earlier, you had suggested monetary conditions 

involving the transfer of funds; however, I am presuming I was wrong 

in believing that these would involve some kind of fee.  Do not issue 

any documents in Constance's name if there is any possibility of any 

monetary conditions involving the payment of fees that we have not 

yet discussed.  As I have said, we would understand if some fee 

needed to be paid in order to release the money; however, I cannot 

have my sister's name placed on any documents if we do not have 

the details of this up front.  Being obviously well-versed in the ways 

of business yourself, I am sure you understand.

I presume that Constance does not have a cel phone (you haven't 

obtained one recently, have you, C.?), and so if there is any part of the 

transaction that you need to conduct over the telephone please use 

the telephone number that I included in an earlier message, and I will 

pass this information along to Constance.

Then, Constance chimes in shortly thereafter:

Dear Mr. Mongosutu,

My brother is correct that I do not have a cell phone.

 In the interest of time, it may be necessary to

contact him by phone.  Please do not hesitate to do

this.  He will know how to contact me, but I am

afraid, for the safety of the children, that we do not

give out the phone number for the orphanage.  In this

day and time, one never can keep children safe enough

from nefarious forces.

Please email or call my brother as soon as possible

with more details.  I can still adjust my schedule at

this time.  I may be able to stay in Madrid longer

than I thought.  If there are any hold ups with the

paperwork, I may be able to stay in Madrid until the

problems are resolved.

Constance
