My response:

I have some excellent contacts at several prominent universities here in the United States…after we get this situation resolved for you, I would be able to make some phone calls. Certainly someone with a background such as yours would be eligible for admission to Harvard or Stanford.

I own the Cleveland Browns football team. I don’t know if you’ve heard of them, because they didn’t exist for a few years, but I had been a fan of the team since my childhood, and hated to see them disappear. It is a wonderful organization, and the next time you are in the United States, you would be welcome to join me for a game.
