Hello 211563 and thank you for your question.

I have sifted through many executive recruiting agencies for you, and
have selected eight which appear to have an established track record
in placing high end executives. All of the companies I have listed
have offices in Atlanta, GA.

Hello again 211563

I will pass your message on to journalist-ga.  I am very happy that
things seem to be looking up for you.  Regarding your request to add a
ten dollar tip, it is not possible for journalist-ga to receive the
tip through this question.  Might I suggest that you post a simple
question specifically asking that only journalist-ga should answer it,
that way she will receive the money you are requesting.

Very best regards

THX1138

Very good...However, in the meantime, I just decided not to go back to
work.  My first job was selling popcorn at the local five and dime
store and I haven't stopped.  It's time I quit.  thank you again fory
your help.  Randy

Greetings 211563:

Your question about the Bentley was removed and I wanted you to know I
found the new dealership number:

404-584-0700   Please speak with Mike McElroy and he will assist you. 
:)

Best regards,
journalist-ga

Here is my complete answer that I was not able to post on the Bentley
question:

Greetings again Randy:

I have located the telephone number for the dealership that bought out
the other dealership.  404-584-0700  I was told to speak with Michael
Freeman but a gentleman named Mike McElroy assisted me.  I gave him
your name and town location and he said he would give the information
to his sales manager.

I did not share your telephone number with them and asked them to
return my call to confirm your deposit but you may want to call them
directly at the business number above.  Should they contact me before
you speak with them, I will post the additional information here.

I am happy I could locate this information for you and I hope
everything proceeds smoothly for you from now on.  :)

Best regards,
journalist-ga
