Lauren,

Please read my email carefully about the check being sent. Our travel person will be handling the travel arrangement. The check being sent to you is so you take out 10% of the total amount,and have the rest of the funds wired to the travel agent that will be handling this.The 10% you're keeping is to cover the financial expenses while processing your work permit once the agent provides the necessary paperwork you will need to proceed to the closest British Consulate to you.Please read the emails and confirm you understand what is expected of you.

Lauren,

I did grab some of your pictures from your Ujena portfolio since we started conversing and used them for reviews and it is my duty as the casting director to design which models I hire for the individual designers I'm working with. I will keep you posted.

The designers wrote back to me after asking if they knew Shane Wright....

Dear Lauren,

I do not know Shane.

Regards

never heard of him SORRY!

thanks kate

Dear Lauren,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately i suspect the email you received from Shane Wright is a hoax as we have never heard of him and he certainly has not worked with Mr Olowu on any previous shows or projects.

Best Regards,

Yemisi Browne

There you go!! and after I told Shane this... he never wrote me back another e-mail. So don't waste your time with him if he e-mails you!
