Dear James,

Whilst searching the internet I came across this information which is 
interesting:

"Just this past week, it was revealed that Handy & Harman, the largest silver 
refiner in the world, declared Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, and had 
virtually ceased shipments on March 15. Handy & Harman was a most respected 
name in the precious metals world. I would imagine, that if you had physical 
silver on deposit with them, you now have a problem. (Also, if you are a silver 
user who relied on Handy & Harman as your supplier, you also have a problem. 
See my article for silver users). Let me ask you a question - if one of the 
most respected names in the precious metals world, Handy & Harman, can announce 
out of the blue, that it is bankrupt and cannot honor its obligations - who can 
be trusted? If the largest silver refiner can't meet its silver obligations, do 
you think a bank or insurance company can?"

  Hi, I can guarantee you that 99.99 is available.  I have mine made for me by 
Handy and Harman, a thousand ounces at a time, in 14 gauge wire size.  They 
charge spot (current silver price) plus a work fee per ounce, and You can get 
in touch with them at 1-800-24-KARAT.  However, their minimum order is 500 
ounces for the four 9 fine.

  Yours in health,
  James Allison
