Absolutely, but I can change your question to get round this relatively minor problem with the wording.
This must not be allowed to stand in the way of you getting the reading which you deserve to get as a valued member of these MB forums. I will do everything possible to make this reading work, so please relax and don't panic.
Any reading which is about a person other than the registered member who requested it is regarded as being third party, which is seen by many readers including myself to be an uninvited invasion of his rights to the privacy of his own thoughts.

What is meant by “third party” readings?
A reading normally involves two people, the reader and the person getting the reading, sometimes called the querent or the client. (If reading for yourself, you are both parties.) When the querent wants to know about the motives, actions or desires of some other person not directly involved in the reading, they are asking about a third party.
Third party questions most often involve the reader’s relationships with other people. Here are some examples:
* Does he love me?
* Is she cheating on me?
* Will he get a job soon?
* Will she pass her test?
In each case the querent is asking about someone else, not about himself.
Why are third party readings wrong?
When developing a personal code of ethics, each reader must decide for herself whether she will or will not do third party readings, and under what circumstances. Some readers consider third party readings to be an invasion of privacy. The third person is not directly involved in the reading, so the reader does not have explicit permission to read for them. Other readers feel they share a common energy bond with their clients during readings. Outside parties are not part of this bond, so the reader would not be able to access information about them through the cards.
What should I do when a querent asks a third party question?
I suggest explaining to the querent why you cannot read for the question as asked, and either ask them to rephrase it or offer some alternatives that redirect the question back to them. If they insist on asking about others (and it is against your ethics to do so) you can simply refuse to read for them.
Here are some suggestions for rephrasing these questions:
* What can I do to strengthen my relationship?
* How can I approach him about our relationship?
* What can I do to support his job search?
* How can I help her prepare for her test? |

While I can get around the third party restriction by changing the question as I explained above, any predictions or insights I get indirectly through his relationship with you will unfortunately as a consequence be less reliable when compared to if we were able to use the third party direct method.
Just leave this with me to fix up, and a reading will follow using the modified questions, as soon as it is humanly possible after I receive a notification from you of having introduced yourself. Please allow for any time zone differences between us when calculating the delay.
Thanks,
