This claim arrived in the year of our lord 2000. When I arrived in 2004, I received an email from this applicant inquiring about the status of his claim.
Dear James,
Having heard you on two radio shows and having read the article written by Michelle Lowe, as well as the very interesting articles on the web, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to accept your challenge. Although I do not take money from the public, I feel justified in demonstrating my abilities for the money on offer.
Permit me to explain very briefly my abilities ad the conditions under which I operate.
1 - My faith enables me too what Jesus did while He was on earth: - John 14:12. He said anyone who has faith in Him will do the sanme things He did.
2 - As faith is a moral issue and a way of life, I would need to know certain values in a person's life before I pray for them.
3 - This is why I would prefer to direct this grace towards children 12 years old and younger, for hopefully they may ot have broken any of God's Commands, or to persons who understand the Gospel.
As there are sadly so many sicknesses, diseases, disabilities and disorders among people, I propose that you consider the following as examples. Blind deaf lame etc or anyone known to yourself. I will use the following methods:- Lay hands on them, item of clothing from the person or a verbal command over a distance, depending on the circumstances.
I have kept the details very brief and if need be I will expand upon them later.
Yours Sincerely,
Paul Bethke

Greetings M. Kramer,
I received your acknowledgment of my application that I sent long ago.
During that time I have already presented my intentions to James Randi and he has accepted it.
Although up to dat what I predicted has not yet ocurred? This is due to certain reasons known to myself.
HAVING SET THE STAGE IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
I have spent much time on the forum preparing people for my prediction.
What I intend doing will not require a preliminary test, because the very nature of what I intend doing is complete on its own.
Regards,
Paul Bethke
=========================================================
OK then, Paul.
