Anyway, my co-conspirator character in this talked him down to a more believable 30 people. But, the lad decided to increase his haul by having 10 of these people either disabled or elderly with special needs. A clever tactic to be sure, but mercifully his greed exceeds his caution.
One of my characters who runs the Outreach Committee of the church wrote back with encouraging words.
This is still early in the bait but soon the church will be holding yard sales, bingo nights etc to raise cash for the lad. The church ladies will put together goods to ship as practical assistance. Then we will solicit the help of a reputable 5 star shipping company to handle delivery to Nigeria and we will see what happens.Thank you for the details, I had no idea you had some seniors and disabled persons in your care too. This means we will have to re-think our commitment and contribute even more. That is my opinion and I will discuss with the committee after worship tomorrow about increasing our donation to your cause. I trust this will prove to be beneficial to you. We also sponsor such things here in Canada and are well aware of the the special needs each target group presents.
God bless you in your work
I know the church is stalwart in its support of such causes. PLOG will never fail its customers. So, what could possibly go wrong?
