A MESSAGE FROM
THE AUTHOR
MY name is Aleksandr Orlov. I live and make my work in Meer-kovo, small village outside Moscow. I have a success business. I have a mansion decorate with many fine things. I have a naturally majestic posture. But I would have none of these things if it were not for my family. I come from long line of the most courageousness, fearlessness, ambitiousness meerkats you could know. This book is dedicate to them.
In honour my ancestors, I also wish to inspire next generation of young businesskats. I am hope that this book will show what can come of courage, hard work and a good fur-care regime.
I am also hope that with royalties I will be able to re-marble roof on Orlov family mansion.
Special mention must go to Sergei, my head of IT. Without him this book would not have been written (because he record all my dictating on his cassette tape and spend all his holidays typing). Thank you, Sergei.

CHAPTER The 1
