Dear James,

I understand that your dreams make

you feel nervous. This is creating
negative energy around you. And
there is a reason. I can see and feel
some dangerous people in your life.
However, they are still far. I need
more time to make sure

Dear James,

This is urgent. What I see these days

is disturbing me: these people are
near. You had a message from them
and you need to be careful.

James,

Im worried about you. I think you

need to visit me again before you
report about that to the police. I know
those guys are getting on your nerves.
But the stars are telling me that you
shouldnt hurry.

Dear Mrs Morrison,

Im very sorry for your loss but the autopsy

results show that your husband has committed
suicide. The dog must be the victim of his
aggressiveness.

Dear Mrs Morrison,

The death of your husband is

definitely not a case of suicide. Im
sure of that. I have studied all the
evidence and a lot of letters including
diary pages. I have some interesting
ideas. Contact me if you want to
cooperate.

Tonight I had a strange dream. But

was it a dream? I saw a man sitting at
my writing table his back to me. I
wanted to move but I couldnt. I
wanted to scream but I couldnt. He
turned his face at me! Andand I
remember that I woke up.

I was walking along the street in the

evening to relax before sleep.
Suddenly I heard strange sounds
people talking behind my back. I
turned around nothing. I was
passing a huge ark and maybe these
were just sound effects. But it seems
to me that the voices were saying:
You shall die. Or am I hallucinating?

A terrible day. A nervous message

from Ray. He wants back the money
that he invested into the last 3
concerts. Why is he so dramatic?
Everything will be fine, I know it. Or
does he forget how popular I am? I
need Roberts advice. Only he can
help. No wonder his services cost
300$ per hour

Ray! He is starting to get on my

expect that from her. It seems that
she doesnt trust me anymore. Robert
says I have bad energy around me.
True. I cant work like that. So what
does Ray want! After all, its his fault!

What a horrible day! A complete

disaster! Ray came and shouted at

Crickey Ray. What does he think of

is. Rob will tell for sure.
