Email I just got from a coworker (who lives in Dubai) - "Hey, I have two friends visiting the US. Can your company write invitation letters for them?"

This is for their visa applications....

Are you kidding me? What on earth is that?? That's not a favor, that's me taking on 100% risk for zero reward. And I'm not even going to suggest I need more reward for my risk because I'm guessing I know what he'll come back with.

if he said "hi, there is a gay couple i'm helping escape the country because if they don't they're getting executed, they need to get out ASAP, can you help?" that's one thing.. but knowing him, this is him doing a favor for a customer. i forward shipped some devices that are Israeli made to him in Dubai for... obvious reasons.. don't care much about that because that's his problem, US gov't don't care. But this is too far.

What's the worst that can happen? They turn out to be Mossad agents and they assassinate someone then Dubai's secret police is out to get you. -- nm - Mop Aug 8, 09:26 2
