After this contract ended, Elim returned to Africa with the hopes of finding another overseas contract. He went back to the agent who arranged his Middle East contract, and at first was told that there was nothing available. A week later, the agent called back and said that they had found someone with a connection in Hong Kong, and they were looking for men to work in the construction industry. This recruiter sent Elim’s agent a vague offer letter from an official sounding company that included accommodations and benefits, and when Elim inquired about the details, the recruiter told him not to worry because she would arrange everything for him. Because she was introduced to him by his agent who had successfully arranged his previous contract, Elim decided to trust her.
