So if option 1 doesn't work, try this method.
This seems a little excessive and assuming that they don't live together the logistics are quite complicated.

These angry Arabs do like to kill people. I had an altercation with a particularly awful one here. After eying the Mrs like a piece of meat I asked if he cared for a picture to take away with him. After a barrage of (I assume) abuse in arabic we went for a little walk where he stumbled and broke his nose. Apparently he is going to find me and kill me.............I am still waiting and it seems he had forgotten his promise last time I saw his slide out a bar I entered.

Not that complicated, you can easily find him asleep in his office

I am a professional. The issue is dealt with, we move on.

Still, it must have been a hard email for him to write - him being south asian and all that.
