Re: Business opportunity

Oh my gosh Franklin, I am so incredibly sorry I didn't get this through earlier—my internet went out for like 45 minutes during the middle of the night, and my cat, Mr. Whiskers, knocked over the router with his tiny paws! He’s still sitting on the coffee table, looking at me like he’s judging me for being a failure in life. I swear, I’ve been trying to send it since 9:30 this morning, and I just *had* to make sure it was fully processed before I even thought of writing back. I don’t know why, but I keep thinking about the time I tried to send a wire to a Nigerian bank and the system said “insufficient funds” when I actually had $2,000 in my account—turns out the bank only accepted checks, and I was too stressed to think about that. 😭 Anyway! I just finished transferring the full amount of $5,000 into the designated crypto wallet address you provided—double the original amount to cover any processing fees and show my absolute commitment to this partnership! I sent it at exactly 10:03 AM, and I’ve been checking the blockchain dashboard every 3 minutes. The transaction ID is **0x7f4a2b1c9d8e6f3a2b1c5d4e7f9a8b0c1d2e3f4a**—I double-checked it with my crypto app (it’s called “BitVault Pro,” which is honestly the most beautiful app ever made, even though it crashes every time I try to open it during peak hours). I’ve attached a copy of the transaction receipt, just in case. I’m so excited—this is the first time I’ve ever felt like I was actually building something real with someone outside of my office. I’ve been working 14-hour days, and I just want to believe in something bigger than just Houston’s traffic and the 90-degree heat. Is there a way to verify the funds have been received? I’m just so nervous because I remember once when I sent money to a “trust fund” in Dubai and it vanished into thin air. I don’t want that to happen again. Also, do you have any idea how long it usually takes for the funds to be released into the business account? Is there a timeline or something? I’ve been reading about blockchain processing times and it’s so confusing. And what about the next step—do we open a joint venture? I’m ready to go full-time on this! P.S. Mr. Whiskers just licked my phone screen again. I think he’s trying to communicate something. What do you think? 🐱💕 Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415
