About this ebook
“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.” - Albert Einstein
A darkly humorous short story of obsession and red tape. Once you've met Jim Fosse you'll never feel quite the same about opening your e-mails ...
WARNING: Contains sexual references and some really bad grammar.
John Dolan
“Makes a living by travelling, talking a lot and sometimes writing stuff down.

He has run businesses in Europe, South and Central America, Africa and Asia. He and his wife Fiona currently divide their time between the UK and Thailand. His novel 'Everyone Burns' is the first book in the 'Time, Blood and Karma' series.

Subject: Jim Fosse’s June Expense Claim
Dear Ramon
I gather you’re the guy I need to send this e-mail to.
My business expenses for the month of June were $11,000.
Of this, $4,000 was for the IIFDC meeting in Manila, $3,000 for the acquisition negotiations in Jakarta, and a further $4,000 for the conference in Houston.
Of course, the Company paid the air fares, so I won’t be claiming for those!
Please remit the $11,000 to my account at your earliest convenience.
Kindest regards,
Jim
