trip to Sao Paulo

I am still waiting for my Brazilian visa (another single entry,
unfortunately). It should arrive next week. I was hoping to spend the week
of Sept. 5-11 in Sao Paolo but that is impossible to plan without the visa.
Maybe the latter part of that week or the next week will work.

If I arrive on a Sat. or Sun., what do you think about the two of us meeting
over the weekend to work out a plan? I can then devote all of my time to
dealing with Tozzini on the physical and financial issues and working with
originators to explain financial trading procedures. I will need to
determine if Jose Emilio (on the physical issues) and Antonio Felix and
Renato (on the financial issues) will be available to meet during my trip. I
have sent them e-mails to at least pose the question.

I know that you are very busy. Please let me know what you think about my
proposal. Also, I apologize for asking you to give up any of your weekend
time. Maybe you have another suggestion that will work better for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
