I believe he misspelled "chauffeur". Regardless, I'll try to keep my eye on this one. Looks like it might be interesting

Ok, two questions: what email address and did we solve everything (or anything) relating to the letter Steve received?

 		UPDATES:

Email from Robert:

Quote:
Likewise, I would believe it fitting for you to inform me whenever a new
situation arises.

Oh, one thing, however--the Mrs. and I have been invited to attend
somesort of a science fair in Moscow. We've decided to go, as I have
family there and poor Sarah needs a vacation. The point is, we will be
in flight for about twelve hours, in which I obviously won't be
available. Once on the ground, however, I will have my laptop. Just
remember that our visit is a higher priority than your little mystery.


I don't suppose you've come to any conclusions as to who died? Or who
killed him?

Let me know. We leave Monday morning.

Robert


And my reply:

Quote:
No idea who has died/is dying... though I could transcribe the letter
if it helps? It appears to have been inserted in the middle of an
auto-print of something.

I understand the importance of your visit, and we will certainly keep
that in mind. However, I would remind you that if indeed someone's
life is in danger and we can do something to help, that must take all
of our priorities.

This may sound very nosey, but how long are you in Moscow for? The
trail so far has led us to believe that something of importance will
happen in or regarding Russia on 28th July.

Lewis

I agree.

Maybe he just types with an accent?

We researched the return address on the letter and found that the person at that address has the email address bobbySPLATgotschmaltz.com. In terms of the letter, we couldn't really find anything else, but someone did come across http://gypsybeta.com.

 		what up with this heavy handed "warning" in the letter to Lewis? and the "do not dare" bring my employer into this"? and she's a spiritual massage therapist that would be rude? "rude" is not very "spiritual, Mrs. Alter...

Quote:
Let me take the time to say that if it was
you, or anyone you know, please instruct them never to call again. Mrs.
Alter is a spiritual massage therapist, and somehow (I'm assuming
through Mr. Alter's paranoia) you have acquired the number to her
personal line. I'd be happy to help you solve your little mystery, Mr.
Denby, but do not dare bring my employer into this, especially in these
hard times. Besides, if she picked up anyway (which she rarely does) I
would expect a rude hang up. So just don't call her. Consider that a
warning.


i think Mrs. Alter is just who we want to contact..
of course, we should probably find an alternative route
something other than the phone

 		Ooh, handbags:

Dear Mr. Denby,


I believe this has gone too far. I feel as if myself and those around me
have been violated in our respect and privacy.

Death is not a casual matter, Mr. Denby. Unfortunately, you seem not to
understand this. You speak of this delicate matter as if it were a
game, casually throwing around ideas like this. "No idea who has
died/is dying..."? You must be joking! I'll admit, I'm equally
interested in stopping a death. However, you are giving no due respect
to the deceased, and if you truly want to save a life then you should
probably show some responsibility.

Furthermore, if you would like my help then I strictly advise you to
treat me like a companion. Your nosey little friends have not only
taken the initiative to call Mrs. Alter's line again, but for reasons
beyond my imaginings her brother George as well. Where is the decency
here? You want to solve a mystery and yet you are abusing your most
crucial insight to the situation.

You can continue your little game, Mr. Denby, but if you insist on
including my participation, you will have to send someone else. I am
done wasting my time with such disrespect as you.

Good day.

R. Beletsky

I'm assuming it's the PM's way of saying the phone number was maybe OOG, and a personal phone number of someone - in other words "leave the poor person's phone alone" you know? I really think that's all that meant....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
[EDIT] AFTER READING THE NEW RESPONSE, I'm going to beg that people not call numbers they find in a reverse look up. I believe the PM's may have a problem not covering their tracks all that well - and we are trying to hard to find clues and instead using OOG stuff to annoy them.... PLEASE... and thank you?[/EDIT]

 		Yesterday a Google search of "GypsySoft" yielded one hit, and led to a page with no mention of "GypsySoft" on it, but several sidebar ads. Today, there are two pages worth, all saying the same thing ("GypsySoft is the site to go for all your development needs. Its a well-organised
goldmine of tutorials, demos, and links to other great resources...") and all of them containing sidebar ads (although I have yet to see an actual sidebar ad mentioning "GypsySoft").

Just FYI.

 		With all the kidnapping going on, it's a wonder there's anybody left to play. Smile

 		After carefully examining all google hits for gypsysoft, it appears that there is an actual company called gipsysoft (with an I), and all hits in google are for the real company. It's just that they were misspelt in google ads and some comments in sites like the one posted above.

In other words, all google results are OOG. Gypsysoft.com isn't even registered so let's focus on gypsybeta for now..
