He may have already given them to Jeffrey, but just in case. Leon thinks they are way too low on the estimates (as I'm sure Jeffrey does), so he's asked me to go back to them and say estimates should be $22.5 million - $27.5 million. He also thinks the guarantee should be no less than $20 million, so I'm going to give them that feedback and we'll see what happens next.

As I mentioned, they are still working on the Guarantee and said they hoped to be back to me later today on that or Monday at the latest. I'm still waiting for estimates and proposals from Sotheby's. They want to see the work in person in Paris, so I am trying to set that up for Tuesday of next week. EFTA01051475 Please let me know if you have any questions.
