Mr.
Contract Manager
Nice Guys Corp.

Dear Mr. ,

Received your letter of March 8, 2007.

Great news!

Your prompt action in passing the permit on to the Production Department
doesn't go un-noticed, nor un-appreciated.

For planning purposes, between us, what would you estimate the time-line
henceforth up to the Superintendent assigned to our job contacting us be?

Hoping you can understand our obvious excitement in seeing this so far
along.

Sincerely,




A nice letter, sent in the blind to info@nicguyscorp. Sent it on the spur of the moment on Friday last in the late afternoon. Expected, like the others, no answer. Surprise, surprise!

On Tuesday morning early as I checked my email, I found this:

Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:04:22 -0500
From: --- ------- <---@niceguys.com>
Subject: Building your project.
To: me@me.rr.com

Mr. and Mrs. -------,

I hope this e-mail finds you both doing well. I have spoken with ----- in our Production Dept and she will be contacting you to coordinate a start and completion date for your addition.

Please feel free to call me at the office if you have any concerns.
Mr. --- ------
Nice Guys Corp.
800-666-6666




It was sent on Monday, and I received it on Tuesday early. Gave a copy to the wife.

Before Noon on Tuesday the CONtractor's Sub-CONtractor for building the footer - the "CONcrete guy" appeared in the backyard, surprising the wife...happily so. The wife called me, and with great jubilation we together welcomed this nice young fellow back. The last time we saw him was back in November of last year.

Now, it's evident my first two emails to "whom it may concern" had to have been read. They were received as there wasn't any kick-back. Those two emails precipitated the letter ( by ordinary mail ) from the CONtracting Manager that the Permit was approved.

Now this later email addressed specifically to the CONtracting Manager though sent to info@niceguyscorp.com precipitated this visit of the nice CONcrete guy just a few hours later. Email is a powerful mover...apparently.

All of this...the ordinary letter prompted no doubt by the first two emails, and a week later this email prompting an email answer no less, instills a bit of confidence in us that Nice Guys Corp is still "with us"...so to speak.

CONcrete nice guy, who we now treat as a long lost son, looked over the almost four-month old weed filled ditch...some of the weeds young trees. Reaching in, he pulled out the largest of the weeds...probably trees; inspected the rusting rebar, and seizings; and pronounced it as good as rain...there is some rain in the ditch...bye the way. He then announced that the next phase would be to spray in insecticide...some kind of regulation to protect against possible termites????????????

A very nice fellow...young, pleasant as well as nice-looking asked if we knew of his insecticide spray-can he left on site back in November. Regretfully, we hadn't noticed it. With that he said he would "get things started", and left.

Was about to close out this page when around four in the afternoon a nice young fellow, who says he's ordinarily "The Panel Assembler", for Nice Guys Corp delivers the Permit. About twenty-five years old, says he's worked for the outfit for a year, and a half, and loves his job. Asked that I keep the Permit out of the rain, and near the job site, which would be the pateo area. Feeling him out as to how many beside himself "assembles panels" he hesitated for a moment, then said: "Just me.". Hmmmmmmm.

However, we believe the sub-contractor who pumps in the concrete for the footer will be here today.

See What Happens
