LEAD STORY
Because perhaps hundreds of Japanese Yakuza gangsters are nearing retirement age, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare has drafted rules for the former gambling, loan shark, and protection workers to qualify for benefits, according to a March dispatch from Tokyo in The Times of London. Since organized crime leaves no employment paper trail, ex-mobsters must supply a letter of retirement from their crime boss in order to sign up, although local governments are expected to accept as partial proof gang tattoos, criminal records, demonstrations of missing finger tips (the sign of traditional Yakuza punishment for mistakes).

A story told by 100 years old man set my heart tingling with possibilities.Background story included. All free - just so that you know there is nothing up my sleeves - there are VOLUNTARY INVITATIONS for action though , unrelated to the great story.
Format of story is exe - ebook format from Mike Filsaime. I've use it and it is safe - no worms or virus etc .Materials from me though.
