Request for Answer Clarification by martyk-ga on 06 Sep 2003 14:48 PDT

Hi Jack...thanks for your reply...
let me see if i can be a bit clearer...I have friend who works in the
TOKYO office of a diamond company that has its main office in Belgium
(Antwerp maybe??).  She says her company has another office in San
Fransico or Chicago, or both.  I need the Belgium co. name/contact
info along with the Tokyo office/contact info...if you can narrow this
down it would help.
I am assuming its a diamond co. but the co. may sell gems or precious
stones...
I hope this helps narrow the search...martyk

Hi Martyk,
Thank you for your comments and your rating. Though for future
reference, please give your rating only *after* you have a received a
satisfactory answer, when all dialogue with the researcher has ended.
See "Answers Help & Tip" page:

Before you give an answer a poor rating, Google Answers suggests first
seeking a "Clarification," because the Researcher may simply have
misunderstood your request. Providing more specific information, more
detail, or better guidelines on what you're looking for can improve
the answer you receive."

Regarding the diamond company you are after, i have repeated the
search (using a different approach), and have narrowed the list down
to about 600 possible companies. To determine if they have offices in
San Francisco and/or Chicago may take considerable time and effort. Do
you have any idea what the name of the company sounds like, or what
letter it may begin with? Any other detail you can provide, no matter
how insignificant, may help me yield a better result. In the meantime,
I have sent out a few emails in the hope of getting a positive
response.
JB

There are 1500 diamond companies in Antwerp.  Its likely many more of
them have offices in Tokyo and the USA than I recieved in the
email...hoping for a more specific answer
