Do you have some kind of emergency contact record? If I should die in the midst of this, with my personal information including my DNA off in the cyber world, would you be able to send the information to my brother? Please note his name is FELIX WHITNEY STONE, but we are not biologically related. I can provide you with his phone number and address if it’s helpful.
If I decide not to go through with it, can you please send the refund to my son, Bruce Van Antwerp, the idiot who purchased this elaborate system of torture for me as a Christmas gift.
I look forward to your response,
Sybil Van Antwerp (Stone, by adoption)
Postscript: I found your English to be quite passable, a cut above what you usually hear from foreigners, so crack on wherever it is you are over in the east.

SUBJECT: RE: PROBLEMS (Attn: Basam)
Dear Ms. Van Antwerp,
I do not live in India and I am not Indian. I have lived here in California with my wife and two children for three years. I moved to the US from Syria when my home was destroyed. I have an advanced degree in engineering, but I work at the moment in customer service for Kindred out of necessity because my degree is not enough to prove me in this country.
The laboratory will dispose of your DNA.
I suppose you will have to trust that Kindred Project will abide by the terms of the contract you will sign and follow the directives you will have the choice to set.
I suggest telling your brother your plans to embark on the program and give him your account password so at the point of your death he has no trouble accessing your profile.
Unfortunately, the window for refunds has passed. Bruce would have had to request a refund within sixty (60) days of purchase. His date of purchase was December 23, 2011.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with additional questions! Thank you for contacting Kindredproject.org.

Dear Mick,
The ultimatum you put down in your most recent letter (dated June 4) was bold. Furthermore, at seventy-six you are quite a bit older than me.
In your letter from March you mentioned the matter of your boredom. Of course you are bored. The mind was not created for idleness. Golf, drinking, staying in one’s pajamas until late in the morning, stretching oneself to find ways in which to pass the days is the way we were meant to spend our vacation weeks, not decades of our lives. Guy and I heard a case years back in which a respected physician who retired at the age of sixty-two had, within two years, wrapped himself up in a scheme related to prostitution in Cleveland, been busted and lost all of his money.
That said, early retirement has been wonderful for me.
