So after a few years teaching in Japan and figuring out which way is up, I have come to realise that tehreal money isn't in cutting out the middle man and getting privates, or cutting out the middleman and working directly for a BoE. No, the real money is in being the middleman.

I am partly on a mission to clean up the alt industry and give a fair deal - there is a bit of the paragon in my personality. But I am of course interested in money. I have done some research on this and I know how much the despatch companies make from sending out ALTs. This is a plea for help in two particular areas...

1 - Does anyone have any specific information on the typical content of a contract between a despatch company and a BoE? I have of course done somke research, including contacts within a BoE, but any extra information helps to corroborate existing data.

2 - Anyone interested in working for me Smile

Due to the nature of this request, I think serious responses are best sent by private messages. But for the benefit of the peanut gallery, I should mention that I have done the figures, I am serious, and I think I can pull this off smoothly if I get a contract with a BoE.

If you have to ask, I wonder if you're really in a position to be the "middleman" yet.

It sounds like you still need a middleman to help you.

And since I happen to know the "real" money is in helping wanna-be middlemen become middlemen, I'm willing to step up and help you out. For a small fee, of course.

Now does anyone mind telling me how to do this?

I'd be happy to help you do this for a small fee. You see, the other place where good money lies is in helping wanna-be middleman-makers to do just that. My prices are quite reasonable.

Of course, if any of you guys can help me out here...?


But seriously, I have the contacts, and I have the information. All I want is something to corroborate what I have. Think of it as being like looking for the news. Do you believe the first newspaper you see? Or do you try to find the bigger picture, in case your first source has an agenda to push?

And I think you'll find that NONE of the dispatch companies are one-man operations. Of course they asked for help when starting up. Why is it unreasonable to do the same?

so why the need for corroboration?
