A Cat Fight In My Gmail

bya Gabrielle at 5:49 PM

If you haven’t had the chance to read My Chinese Headache Part 1 and 2, please click here and here. I suppose it’s not completely necessary, but it may make the following emails more humorous if you do.

Phil wanted me to wait until we got home before I posted them just in case the wrong person happened to come across them. He didn’t want to make our lives any more difficult than they were at the time. And I didn’t want to post it until I had the time to explain our reasoning for why we left. Now that we are home, and I finally got around to telling that story, I can now post what is probably the funniest bunch of emails that I have ever received.

There were several more emails than just the three I’m going to let you read, but these were by far the funniest – particularly the two written by Richard Guo(Yuli Guo).   The other one is written by our recruiter, Lea.  Please know that a lot of what Richard says in his emails is hogwash.  The main reason why I’m posting it is because it makes me laugh until my sides hurt.

ENJOY!

Phillip,
I have no problem in helping you guys if you ask for my help. But I do have a problem with Lea Walkers who copys the ways blacks were sold in South Carolina before 1865 sells American teachers to China to make evil profits. Her evil ways of doing the business is that she always sell the teachers twice, remember that last year, Tim, the teacher taught in the same place as you did, was sold by Mrs. Walker twice. She charged us for 1000 usd first, then she sold Tim to another school and charged that school again. She made 2000 usd by selling one teacher, which equals

more than 4 months’salary of Tim.  When the teachers she sold in China having difficulties she never gives real help but sending an email to fool both teachers and Jessica about the whole situation. Teachers were not told by Mrs. Walker that how much they were sold. Teachers were also never told that because she cheated the host school which makes the teachers she sent over in a difficult situation. On the surface it seems your contract has no connection with Mrs. Walker’s evil doing, but it closed connected with each other. Phillip and Gabe, don’t worry and no thanks, , we will help both of you go home but always remember that it is Mrs. Walker’s evil way of doing the business that put you guys in a such difficult situation. I do hope you can go to the authority concerned in China and disclose Mrs. Walker’s evil behavior.

Guo Yuli:
You are the only evil in the whole process: You breached your contract with our center at the very beginning, and then again and again; and now you are breaching your contract with our teachers. If you didn’t want to pay our recruitment fee, you didn’t have to sign the recruitment contract with us. According to our contract, when you use our teachers for summer, you should pay our center $400/each. You had used 4 of our teachers for this summer, but you told me that you did not need summer teachers, and you did not pay us at all. Look at the attached contract to see how many terms you have been breaching!!! How much money you owe our center? We know why all your business associates and your teachers are sick of you! You are one of the lowest characters that I have ever been dealing with!!! Your SAFEA Certificate should be revoked for all your evil dealings! You don’t have a clue what honesty and credibility mean!
It is a basic Chinese government policy that you use a foreign teacher for one semester, you pay a one-way international airfare and domestic transportation; If they work for you for two semesters, the host school/employer should pay for their round-trip international airfare and the transportation to and from the school. By buying our teachers’ return flights, you are just fulfill your basic responsibilities to our teachers, not a favor from you. Even on our contract, it specifies that you are responsible for our teachers’ international airfare! You are doing yourself a great favor by not going to arbitration so that you can save yourself a breaching penalty of 100,000 Yuan.
If you slander me one more time, you’ll hear from our Attorney in China for all your evil dealings. If you don’t buy our teachers’ return flights before Aug. 30, 2007, I’ll make sure to get your SAFEA Certificate revoked! If you keep being a liar and defaulter, your business is to go down the hill…
My advice to you: Being honest is the best policy!

Hey Mrs. Walker,
Too bad, you are not very smart in answering my questions. You faild  to grasp the central point of what I said. I am telling you again what you have been doing is morally wrong. Because you sold Americans teachers the same way as  Black Americans were sold in South Carolina before 1865. From your letter we can all see that you were mad  at  Phillip and Gabe as you were unable to collect your evil money as Phillip and Gabe taught the summer program. They are free Americans. You don’t own them, right? They can do what they want to do. They wanted to teach the summer program, we gave them the opportunity to do so. We freed them from your evil slavery, haha…
If you have the guts, you really should take the case to the Supreme Court of US, not your Henan bloody “lawyer”( remember,I talked to him before and he sounded like a Henan farmer, not a really lawyer, double check it before you pay him, he may do the same as you have been doing to the teachers). 
Oh, by the way, no one told me that you also own SAFEA. We got the SAFEA Certificate more than 15 earlier ago, I wonder why SAFEA forget to ask your permit. You really should ask SAFEA to pay you 1000 usd for failing to ask your approval on the matter. But, I don’t think the Henan lawyer can help you get the 1000 usd from SAFEA.

My advice to you: find some better way and moral way to make money.
