FANTASY OR REALITY Dear Diana, Fantasy or reality is the main theme
in the Don Quijote of Cervantes. I am not a regular television watcher, but since
some time I regularly look to the series of The Bold and the Beautiful,
because I see my own life reflected in the presented situations.
When I look for example to the persons Karin Spencer and her
lawyer Connor, in my fantasy I see you and me. The episode of
tonight showed the gathering of Karen and Connor on Christmas
Eve. Karen told that she had longed for that moment during three
months. Three months ago I saw You standing on the bridge behind
my house and fortunately no one believes that story. But I do.
Today I requested someone to arrange a military helicopter to
fly me to London on Christmas
Eve. If he can manage I will be there.
Today I delivered my Business
Plan to the management of the Dutch
Top Start organization in order to set up the company Cervantes Recruitment and
Selection. I trust in the professionalism of our lawyers to
reach a business agreement. Then I will come to you the 24th of December 1996. Yours.
