HI Andy,

Rest all is fine.
Car ok, what about fuel have they mentioned the monthly/weekly fuel limit.
3k pocket money will vanish in 1 visit.
Isnt there any monthly local allowance that they have mentioned ? If not negociate that, it should ideally be in the range of 20-25k. That should take care of your monthly expenses & that amt is sufficent for u alone.
U need anymore info do write back.

Regards,

Ashantiz

ideally you should be getting stuff like: medical allowance, house allowance, leave allowance,tax allowance and car allowance
