Hi Saeed !!

Would you please confirm me if you received my PM sent on june the 23rd, about the Hunting Videos you are so kindly giving away ??

I am concerned not only about the "declined status" that appears in my own Private messaging space but also about the decision of declining all solicitudes past june 30 ... since if you didn`t received my PM I will not be able to ask them to you ....

PM originally sent was as follows:

Hi Saeed !!

Please forgive me for my greed but I will appreciate very much indeed if you could send me both years (2003 - 2004) If my solicitude is too much to be satisfy (considering the request all other forum members are making), please feel free to send me whichever you like most ... not being able to go to africa yet, I am looking eagerly to anything related ...

My mailing address is (......)And thank you very much for all you constantly do for us, hunters all around the world ... indeed you are a fine gentleman, Saeed !

With all my respects, Martin

Martin,

Every request that we have received - by PM, not email - dated June 30th or earlier have already been full filled.

I have specifically asked for all requests to come by PMs - to make sure only AR members are the ones getting them. Still, so many people have sent emails with their requests. I am afraid those have not gotten any.

We are still getting people asking for them today!!?? Despite the deadline of June 30th.

What few we had left we shipped to those who have asked on July 1st earlier on the day.

We have never expected so many people would have asked for these.

We ended up sending out a total of 2,500 DVDs!!!

And I can tell you, that had us working full time here in the workshop, duplicating, packing, printing address labels etc.

We were well and truly "snowed under" in the middle of desert.

Still, we made the offer, and we had to stand by it, and I hope everyong enjoys them.

Wow!

Thank you for your generosity. I bet only the MS vids and the Bod on Buff vid are more widely distributed..

In days like this when most of us have a rather jaded view of humanity, something such as Saeed has done shakes that conviction. Yes, there are still a few fine gentlemen left on this planet, and we have established that one of them resides in Dubai.
Thanks again, Saeed. What you did goes far beyond generous. I for one have enjoyed watching your hunt and Walter's antics immensely.

Amen to that. I agree with you whole-heartedly.

Saeed, 2500 replies would indeed take some time. I look forward to receiving mine and can't wait to see what the others are all talking about. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Walter but it's a small world and my work may even take me to Dubai one day.

Hi Saeed !!!

Wow !!!! 2500 !!! !!

Then should I expect mine to be delivered to me soon ???

In fact, I sent my first solicitude via PM to you on june,23rd as stated - but I was concerned about your "decline status" in my own copy of the PM mentioned ...

I know you are one of the most gentle guy most of us would ever met, AR site is a constant proof of it ... but "if" by any chance this declined status means you never received my PM, can you please still send me a copy of your hunts ?

As you have constantly proved to administrate AR forums with admired justice, I emphatise the fact that indeed I sent my PM before the stated deadline ...

I am not able yet to go hunting to the dark continent and your site and your experinces are the best sources I have to feel AFRICA as a possibility ... and somehow your own shared experiences, makes me feel to be nearer to that ever dreamed hunt ....

Please feel free to validate the dates of my PMs sent, I think that´s something Don can easily do ....

But, if by any reason my request could not be satisfied, nevertheless I thank you whole heartly for what you do, day after day, to keep hunting feeling alive ...

Very Best Regards,

Martín

Saeed,
I truly thank you for your great generosity in sharing your tapes with me. I thank you and hope that one day I will be able to experience this part of Africa for myself.

I have just started watching them, but from what I have seen so far I would gladly have paid a goodly amount for them. Perhaps they should be placed on the Accurate Reloading Store. Remember one of the great tenents of capitalist economics (in a perfect economy anyway) - price and demand will seek an equilibrium. Even at a low price of $20 per set, you could have brought in $50,000.

I received mine a couple of days ago but have successfully held off on viewing them. I have to go to Auckland on the 18th and the 2003 video will be perfect for the 12 hour flight there with the 2004 video as the treat on the flight back.

Thank you Saeed for these.

Saeed thanks once again for the wonderful DVD's.

Cheers,

André
