Woensdag 17 april 2002 00.20 Het journaal van Nederland 2 meldde dat Jesús Gil y Gil wederom in de gevangenis is opgenomen wegens verdenking van verduistering van bewijsmateriaal inzake zijn frauduleuze handelingen. Het is op de eerste plaats duidelijk dat hem het toebrengen van lichamelijk letsel kan worden aangerekend. Men liet immers ook beelden zien waarop hij iemand lijfelijk te lijf ging voor zijn 'Villa Angeles' in Marbella. Dit is wettelijk niet toegestaan in de Europese Unie. 07.52 Ontvangen van info@boacgroep.nl Your message : "Vallen en Opstaan" on Tue, 16 Apr 2002 20:29:49 +0200 has been received. KABINET KOK II VALT Jesus Gil achter tralies 21.08 Terug uit Arnhem en 'Quirins'. Leuke voorstelling van Le Nozze di Figaro van Mozart. Aandacht voor Graaf en Gravin. Voorstel gedaan aan Het Gelders Orkest om een keer in het Teatro Cervantes te komen spelen in Málaga. Kaartje verstrekt aan Carlo de Wild, Orkestinspecteur. Velperbuitensingel 12, Postbus 1180, 6801 BD Arnhem. De PRINSES MÁXIMA kwam ook voorbijgevaren. Bracht mij in gedachten terug naar 31 augustus 1999. Nog even wat berichtjes van Ben Harrison, mijn marketing manager in Canada. "The news release Trafford send out goes to over 12000 contacts - media, readers, authors, publishers - a whole slough of people. The number of responses can vary, anywhere from 1 or 2 to 10 or more. Much of a book's success depends on the author's marketing. Trafford also submits the book to online bookstores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and submits the books to large search engines." Ik vond ook het contract met Trafford in mijn dagboek. De door jou gevraagde keywords zijn: Diana - Stadhouderlijk Hof - de Baak - ETON COLLEGE - Sergeant David Sharp - NBL - Stratford - Warwick - Royal Leamington Spa - De Wellenkamp 1530 - Neude 30C - To the Loo.

8(3) - news release has been sent out 8(4) - hyperlink is <A
HREF="http://www.trafford.com/robots/01-0341.html">Letters
