After you get over your initial anger (or amusement), let's put our heads together to discuss an appropriate response. - Doug Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear Doug, I decided to wait until after Christmas to respond to your letter. I have drafted an amended petition which adds Randy, Steve, and Enron as defendants. Among other matters, the petition includes tort claims arising from acts of slander, fraud, and tortious interference with contract. You have been critical of my decision to file the original petition in September because, as I understand it, you believed that I had failed to exhaust other avenues for redress. I believe that every other potential means of resolution had been exhausted. However, in respect for your offer of constructive criticism, I would like to once again extend an offer for mediation in an attempt to resolve the ECOGAS matter, and now these matters. I called your office and understand that you are not in today. As I anticipate that you may be on vacation this week, I will wait until next week before proceeding with any new filings. Please contact me if mediation is of any interest to your client. If it won't be you, please let me know if you happen to know who will be representing the additional defendants. Best regards, Tom
