About 3 years ago I promised an acquaintance that I'd help sponsor him on a diving trip by giving him $200. Shortly after that I moved away and I never gave him the money and he never contacted me about it. Earlier this year I moved back to my old town and had lunch with this acquaintance in July but he never mentioned the money and I never brought it up. Even though 3 years has passed I want to give him the money. Should I present him with the $200 or should I just forget it.

I still would give him the money.....with interest that is. 200 bucks 3 years ago is much different than 200 bucks today.

Say this to him:

"I was cleaning the house and found an envelope with cash in it and then I remembered that I set it aside for you, I guess I forgot to give it to ya"

Problem solved

yeah, he went on the diving trip, had a big write-up on it on his website.

Tell him about the money, but then say you can give it to him or go out and blow it on loose women. Nah, dinner and a coupla bottles of wine will do.

if you have the money send it to him with 3% interest, which is more than he could get at savings. you will love yourself, and he will be impressed.
