Ohh dear, looks like i might have my first suicide on my hands...
Right, to cut a long story short, my client (let's call him Luciano) came to see me a few months ago looking for a job. He was deeply depressed and had no idea of where to turn. During our first meeting i could see that not all was right. He seemed a very desperate and needy. Basically, he a Marketing consultant who's just done a spot of lecturing at a local university.
Anyway, through a succession of motivation and confidence building sessions, aswell as improving his employability skills I got him a job at a college. He was obviously delighted with that.
He had to go through some red tape first (being public sector)and submit a crb form (criminal record check) and an application form for payment. anywho, he can't start the job yet because his application form's are being held up as he can't prove his address (he stupidly moved home a soon as i told him he passed the interview to move closer to the college). It's been 2 weeks now and he's phoning every couple of hours, sounding more and more desperate everytime..
he sent me the following email this morning which has really got me concerned.. If he can't prove his residence shortly there's a strong possibility that his job offer will be pulled (they need staff immediately and have someone waiting in the wings). We're trying everything we can to get him started, but if we don't, I think he'll do something stupid.
English isn't his first language btw.

Dear Parma,
I am really badly looking forward to start working. I am not melodramatic.
Since May last year I am in trouble miserable and depressed. I will explain you why. You just know I was depressed.
In April 2006 I was last at home. I came to Brazil to present the business. I would represent two companies over here. I involved reasonable Brazilians and British Business men. There was no loss however due to the lack of my experience no business as a result.
Talking to a friend he suggested me a few months gap to reflect about future. I accepted and started working as a care worker at Douglas trevor-jones home at ************ . In my mind I would look after a successful business man. Giving my time to someone while thinking and benefiting from a local business man experience advices. The employer new my objective. I started in September and finished this work in December. During my days off I was lecturing at **********************. The idea of teaching in my days off was to keep my cv and brain up. It ended a job at Douglas home was a night mare. By the way Far different from What I was told. I quit the teaching Job in November.
In 7 Nov 2006 came into force a new Highly Skilled MIgrant Programme legislation. I would have to stop my plans to be here for good until few months ago when the first case extending the visa became a decision / resolution. My life became a mess in November.
In January I was miserable and had no job. I moved to a hostel at 28-30 Bute Gardens London W6. Still in January I started attending a Portuguese Christian Service at KT Temple. The God was the only route I could think about.
In April I moved to Rosehilton Melo's home. I rented a bed at ****************. Roswehilton is a Brazilian Labour and Pastor living in London. Probably in July we moved to the next door at ******************.
When I was told I would start on Friday on 7 Sept as a study coach i moved in to a new address. ***************. this address is 15 minutes walking from new ham college.
I have no way to prove my address after *************** unfortunately.
Please I bag you bet on my.
This job will be my treatment and the time I need to prove I am reasonable.
thanks
****** *****
