I will do the staffing guides, and then sit with my guys and Brice as =o what stays and what goes as far as construction is concerned. To be hone=t honest I don't think you need any more buildings you have enough bac=-up now for a hundred room hotel. Once again I will know better after a lo=ger stay there, one you need to bring closure to construction and two get =our energy and water issues under control. Rich

Jeff, first I would be happy to go over and get all the things that yo= want done, it's not a big deal and I think I can do it in a very effi=ient manner. You have some good people over there that need some direction= But I need to ask some questions first;

• What is the scope of the work you want completed now. They are talki=g about roads, walls, permanent engineering facilities, etc.

• I need access to all staffing guides that have been prepared.

• Are there any budgetary guidelines in place.

• Who is going to stay on the Island when the project is completed ( will=it be Brice and his wife).

• Do we have contracts for your HVAC and mechanical plants?

You may not know all these answers, but as long as everyone knows that=is what I need to know when I go down there I will be fine. I was introduc=d to you by an friend and representative of Tom Pritzger, of which both I =ave the highest esteem for, but you must understand I am presently gainful=y employed and at the present had no intention of leaving my present posit=on, unless something drastically changed the direction that I am going in.=With that being said I will make arrangements with Cecile to go to the Isl=nd next Friday and Saturday and sort through everything. I will probably b=ing two professionals (landscaping and engineering with me) to look at the=project while I work with your team to get you the answers you are looking=for. The professionals will be free because everyone in Puerto Rico is loo=ing for work and all I am looking to get from them is an appraisal of what=needs to be done to get this job done and run efficiently going forward.<hiv>

For me to make it simple I would charge $225 an hour (that's what = pay my accountant) plus a plan ticket from San Juan to Saint Thomas, and =f you could put me up at the house it would be great. Also my son is a Jun=or at Brandeis University studying international finance and if you woul= consider him interning a couple of weeks at Christmas with your group t=at would be appreciated.

If this all works for you I will call Cecile this afternoon and make t=e appropriate arrangements. Also keep in mind I am not a builder, but I ha=e opened numerous hotel properties in the Isalnds and know whom to reach o=t to for help.

Warm regards,
Rich
