Dear Shippers,
Future Pool Cover Owner, Jack Dawson, has instructed me to contact both of you to give us the very best prices for shipment of a parcel to Trinidad.
I am not in the habit of pitting one shipping company against another in an attempt to get the lowest prices, however Jack Dawson seems to think that this is the best course of action. I think it is low and unconscionable but I’m not paying the bills. He is.
Here is the information you need to determine shipping costs.
Pick-up address:
Vladdio Pool Covers
2600 Eskimo Pie Blvd.
Wunderkind, MT 59106
Delivery address:
Rev. John Mills
The Mission House
32 Eastern Main Rd
San Juan, Trinidad - 674-2287
Weight: 825 lbs (including pallet)
Dimensions: 48” x 48” x 40 “ high
APGAR: 6
Gentleman, please keep in mind that your company will be chosen not just on your best price but also on the speediness of your delivery. Also I believe that Jack Dawson is not above taking a bribe.
Let the bidding begin.

Hi Jack,
I’m sorry to have to tell you that only one of the two shippers contacted me with freight costs. Cargo Afrique did not.
This might be for the best. Very often when a shipper fails to respond to freight cost requests it means that they are lazy and inefficient and unworthy of your business. I would forget about them and never contact them again. If they contact you and continue to pester you, you may contact me for assistance. I know of some very tough people who can put enough pressure on them so they would never ever bother you again.
I believe that Simex Air could very likely handle the job. And if at the end of our association Simex does not perform to your satisfaction, my tough friends can pay them a visit as well. They ask nothing in terms of payment as they also work in procuring “donated” organs for the black market.
Below you will find a quote for shipping from a Mr. Alex Clench. It is $2,190.50.
Let me know when I can expect payment info for the covers.
Also, nothing will ship until you tell me what colors you want. Again they are Green, Gray, Blue, Slimp, Molt, Black, Teep, or Red. Please choose a color right now. I suggest Slimp, Molt or Red. They stand up best when braided.

Hi Jack,
As I told you before the price of the 2 covers is $5,135.00.
In my last email I told you that the shipping is $2,190.50.
Normally my customers pay the freight charges separate from the material cost. You’re not suggesting that I should pay the shipping costs. Are you?

Iago,I want you to pay for the freight on my behalf so I want you to have my credit card details for the total charges.

Jack,
This is a very unusual request.
I talked it over with some of my associates and we all agreed that if we were to do this as a service to you there should be a convenience fee attached to it.
We therefore propose the following:
- 2 covers - $5,135.00.
- Shipping - $2,190.50.
- Convenience Fee - $450
- TOTAL - $7,775.00
In addition, myself and my 2 associates request the following:
- Bob Babarann (Associate #1) - $25 for Girl Scout Cookies (for his daughter’s fund-raiser)
- Duke Oafearl (Associate #2) - $25 for Christmas Wrapping Paper (for his son’s fund-raiser)
- Iago Grope (ME! – Associate #3) - $25 for crack cocaine (I don’t have any kids but I do enjoy crack cocaine)
This last request totals $75. Add that to the other total and you get $7,850.00
If this is acceptable to you, we have a deal.
Please let me know your payment information.
Iago
PS. By the way, I think choosing RED as a color for the cover is a great idea. You will see absolutely NO blood stains ever.

Hi Jack,
I’m not exactly sure how I should take your comment. Are you deliberately trying to be funny? I know I spoke out of line in my previous email and I regret the faux pas. I was hoping you might have just skipped over it and not even mentioned it. Now that the cat is out of the bag, please know that I am aware of my own problems and I work to correct it daily. And I would appreciate it if you never speak of it again. And since I am doing you a big favor in handling the shipping, I think it’s not too much to ask.
About the payment, the total is $7,925.00
Please forward your payment information ASAP.
Thanks.

Dear Jack,
It’s now 2 weeks since I heard from you.
Are you still interested in our pool covers? The price may be going up soon so now is the time to buy.

Dear Jack,
I certainly hope you’re not confusing me with another supplier. My name is not “Lago”. It’s “Iago”. It rhymes with “parsnip”. (Don’t ask me why. Something about the phonetics of Latvia.)
We are presently forbidden from giving out our telephone number. Mr. Diomerde believes that the US Drug Enforcement Agency may have our lines tapped. Therefore all correspondence must come via email.
For a summary of the respective costs, see below in the previous emails.
Please don’t dawdle. Prices may rise.
