Alton,

Thanks for recappping the countdown of events that should lead to a signing this week. I sincerely hope it plays out on schedule.

In spite of his reservationns, which to date have been on the mark, I'm sure that HM would welcome the same outcome.

As to QWERTy and his Middlle East experience, isn't it possible that Mr. Al-Hilal, knowing of the dilatory nature of how business is conducted there, made allowances in suggesting the process may take 2-3 weeks. I prefer July over September.
