Savannah,

Do you intend for us to talk on the telephone in France or meet in person? I could give you the money in cash. There is enough money in the safe in the apartment for me to give you the equivalent in euro of about twenty five thousand pounds sterling. I'll check exactly how much cash is there when I arrive on Tuesday and I'll let you know as soon as possible. Obviously, I won't be able to remove the money while my wife is in the apartment but I can give you the combination to the safe and you can help yourself later. Do not touch the money until she is gone. I'll send the keys to the apartment via courier and the deposit first thing on Monday morning.

How long will it take for the authorities to r
elease her body from France? I agree with you that I should stay with the body; leaving her would make people wonder.

I will scan their photographs and send them to you on Monday. The telephone number is the same. I'll email you when I can talk. The more I think about it the more I realise that it is crucial that I remove the computer from the office. My wife and the two women work there but I don't want to leave the computer at work in case someone decides to check it.
You never know.

I've been thinking about the cashier's cheque. When you buy a cheque in Ireland the bank keeps a record of who you are and you have to get it at your own bank. It's a regulation. If anyone questions me about it later, I can say that I got it from my wife and that she asked me to send it. If
the courier company has a record of the envelope, again, I'll say that my wife asked me to send it and she didn't tell me the details. I can't see it being a problem.

My wife and these two women have put me in an impossible situation, which is why I'm taking such drastic action. Maybe I'll tell you the details some day.

I loved my wife very much once but she has well and truly ended any feelings I had for her. I hate her now and have wanted her dead for a while but it's difficult to read these emails and see it written in black and white. It's shocking but she has asked for it. It's her own fault. She has nobody to blame but herself and her new best friends.

Mark,

Let me know when we can talk. We are running o
ut of time. It will happen next weekend which gives us six days to get organised. Send the items via courier through your company.

Don't worry or panic and act normal! Trust us and the job will be successful.

Savannah,

I can't talk at the moment. My son is here. I wanted to speak with you but I don't want him to notice me checking emails and being impatient with him.

Email me your telephone number and I will call you when I can.

Savannah,

I spoke with my wife. The Irish couple with the apartment next door to us in France will not be in their apartment next week. They will be on their boat or in Ireland. I'll know for definite when I arrive on Tuesday evening.

My wife wants to take a boat trip to La Rochelle on Thursday and stay there until Monday or Tuesday. Anyway, I'm sure she will want to return to the apartment when she gets the "sad" news of her friends!

I probably won't have much access to the internet while I'm in France, especially when we're sailing. I'll text you to keep you informed of what we’re doing.

I should be able to talk to you on the telephone within the next few hours. I'm sure you can appreciate that we need complete privacy.

Do you plan on spiking the women's drinks? They spend most weekends in Westport, as I mentioned earlier, but there's no guarantee that they'll be there next weekend. Occasionally, they'll go out in Templebar in Dublin's city centre. I know Westport is on the other side of the country but Ireland is a small place so they'll only be a few hours’ drive away, worst case scenario. Will this be a problem for your team? I’ll try to find out their plans when I'm at work next week and I'll let you know so your people can make alternative hotel reservations, if necessary.

How do you intend on travelling to France? I know there are direct flights from the UK to La Rochelle, if that's where you plan on doing the hit, and there's also an airport at St. Malo where we have the apartment.

I've travelled extensively in France so that won't be an issue. I'm excited to talk to you on the phone!

Mark,

I'm sorry to have called you at an inconvenient moment but time is running out. We must start finalising our plans. I need to take care of a
few things so call me later. By the way, I like your voice on your answering machine, very sexy. I look forward to your call.

Mark,

If you can't send the money today, the deal is off. It will be too late. My people will not wait and without the money we cannot go ahead. It's up to you.

Savannah,

I will send the deposit via courier this afternoon. Email me your address for delivery.

I'm at the office at the moment and have to behave as normal. When I go to the bank later I will sort out the money. Don't worry. I want to do this one hundred per cent. I'm determined and nothing can change my mind.

I need to spend some time here in the office with one of the women to find out what they have planned for next weekend. I will let you know as soon as I can.

Speak to you later

Mark,

I will text you my postal address and bank account details. Let me know how you finally decide to send the money;
courier or bank transfer. Thank you, darling. I'll talk to you later.

Savannah.

Savannah,

I've decided to box up the money and send it to you that way. I will put something else in with it to make it look like a gift and I'll also enclose the keys and the photographs. I'll email you the address, combinations and directions. I'm quite busy at work at the moment and under pressure to get everything done so I can leave early to post the package to you. I'll contact you later to advise you of the tracking number.

Ok, be careful. I'll call you later to hear your sexy voice.

Savannah,

I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner. My son came home unexpectedly. He wants to spend some time with me this evening because I'm leaving tomorrow, so I had to switch off my mobile phone. I'll be able to speak when he goes to bed later tonight.

Mark,

No problem. I understand that you need to maintain the status quo. Thank you for organising the money. I'm glad we didn't have to kill you! I would love to spend some quality time with you when all of this is done. You have a very sexy voice which really turns me on.

I'm leaving for France on Tuesday morning, slightly earlier than originally planned. Maybe we can get to know each other a little better. I’ll contact you to let you know when I arrive.

I've att
ached my photo to this email. Hope you like what you see!

Savannah,

Finally, I can email you without anyone breathing down my neck. I’m sorry for not being able to answer your calls. I didn't expect my son to be here so early tonight. He usually stays at college until late but he wanted to spend some time with me.

Thank you for your photos. You are very beautiful and I look forward to being alone with you! I hope I live up to your expectations. I'd like to get to know you better too. Maybe I can take you sail
ing? You look gorgeous with your beautiful blonde hair and bright smile. I've always had a soft spot for blondes.

I was talking with my son and I know he would be devastated if he found out what I
was planning. He would wonder if he ever really knew me. My other son is a baby, almost three months old. He won't even remember his mother which I suppose is a good thing. I'm very close to my eldest son and I want to maintain our relationship.

I su
ppose you are wondering why I’m determined to get rid of my wife and the other women. Well, it's a long story. I admit that I'm not entirely blameless. There were some indiscretions but after being married for twenty years what does she expect? She ignored my apologies and instead set out to ruin me; which she achieved. She tries to control every moment of my life and hates our son spending time alone with me, which is why he wanted to make the most of our time together while my wife is in France. She's set up our finances so that she can make sure that I have hardly any money of my own and I refuse to stand for it any longer. Enough is enough!

You must b
e curious as to why I don't leave and get a divorce but it wouldn't work. It's not that simple. I have to protect myself and this is the only way I can see out of it.

Savannah, I
must be boring you by now. I'm sure you don't want to know the details of my pathetic life.

Getting back to business; the women wil
l definitely be in Westport next weekend, so it's all systems go.
