CHAIRMAN:
When you went to collect the contracts from Mrs.
Powell were the contracts already written up with the

A:
I want to think so, I don't remember sir. I think so,

CHAIRMAN:
And what happened first in time, you sent the letter to
Mrs. Powell advising her of the persons who should
get contracts and after you sent the letter to her
sometime after you went and collected the contracts
from her to be signed? So you advised her who
should get contracts and then after you went and
collected the contracts in the persons names,

A:
She informed me that the contracts were ready and
asked for me to assist them.
