FOUR YEAR PLAN

Welcome to CREE BANK

The only bank with an in-built plan to crash and burn, to fail and implode, all within a period of no more than four years.

This Four Year Plan is as follows...

CREE BANK will only ever be open for business for The Forty Days leading up until the 11th of May each year for four years (2025, 2026, 2027 & 2028).

CREE BANK has published a prospectus masquerading as a novella by William E. Drummond. This prospectus slash novella is being published in an edition of 400 hard back copies. 100 copies of this book might be made available for sale to interested parties, at some unspecified time in each of The Forty Days in 2025, 2026, 2027 & 2028, via Alimentation*. That is if CREE BANK has not crashed and burnt – failed or imploded before then.

*Alimentation will endeavour to let the interested parties know when they have copies of CREE BANK in stock and are ready to trade.

The words found in this book lay out in as clear terms as possible how and why CREE BANK exists and works.

The words on the back cover of this prospectus masquerading as a novella are as follows...

This novella is about banking.

And this novella contains the words...

Artists spend their youth dreaming about fame and fortune.
Bankers take risks and embrace failure.
Artists always want others to take the risks for them.
Bankers start with nothing and end up bankrupt.
Artists spend their later years being bitter that they were never understood.
Bankers aspire to go unnoticed at the back of the hall.

And...

Ethel Strachan, who likes to back comb her hair into a beehive, is a divorcee. It is rumoured, by a number of the staff at CREE BANK, that Ethel Strachan is having an affair with The Governor of CREE BANK.

And...

Banking is built on trust
Insurance is built on distrust.
Banking is built on things going right.
Insurance is built on things going wrong.
Banking is built on hope.
Insurance is built on fear.

And this novella is dedicated to the memory of Mike Carran.

For a bank to flourish before it can crash it needs a rival. Maybe today is the day that you make plans to set up your own rival bank of CREE BANK.
