Business Meeting & Greeting Estonians are quite formal and may not come across as quote cold or even friendly to people from more informal cultures. This should not be interpreted so. Once the relationship warms up the communication style becomes a lot less stiff. Shake hands with everyone at the meeting. Remember it is rude to greet someone while seated. Handshakes should be firm and confident. Maintain steady eye contact while shaking hands. Try and wait for a woman to extend her hand. Address businesspeople by their professional title and their surname. If someone does not have a professional title, use "Härra" to address a man and "Prova" to address a woman. o Wait until invited before moving to a first name basis.

With smiles and handshakes all around, the guard leaves with the funds while the examiner ex- presses a few more minutes of thanks before he, too, exits. Naturally, as the victim eventually discovers, the "guard" is no more a guard than the "examiner" is an ex- aminer. What they are is a pair of bunco artists who have recognized the capacity of carefully counterfeited uniforms to click us into mesmerized compliance with "authority." Trappings
