More letters from Shire....

Here is another letter sent out by Shire this week. Is it coincidence that they sent out a letter when I announced the meeting, and now another letter when I post about joining legal action?

When I forwarded this letter to Mr. John Blair, this was his reply:

I extended an invitation to her (through her lawyer) to meet with me to explain in a friendly setting exactly what happened with everyone's money and the projects. I indicated we would like to see bank records and other ledgers. This was an excellent opportunity to clear her name but she has not taken us up on it.

Please don't rely on just Cleone or me for the facts, contact the ASC:

Back in town...

I'm back from holidays... lots has happened while I was away including a mail box full of messages. Please be patient while I answer the 140 messages that are waiting here staring at me.

Today, I sent out a letter from John Blair regarding joining the class action and the legal fee structure. The email went out to those already on my distribution list. I will NOT be posting this letter on my blog.

If you are interested in finding out more about the legal action, please email me and I'll add you to my investor list and forward the letter to you. If you've already emailed me over the last two weeks and have not yet heard from me, I'll include the letter with my reply to you - so no need to email me again asking for the letter.

Thanks again for your patience!

Archer ... not missing

Greetings from London. Archer is no longer missing. He contacted me via email since my last post. I have not responded to him ... so Mr. Archer, if you are reading this, please understand that I am thankful for your contact and have forwarded your correspondence to Mr. John Blair who is my counsel and will respond on my behalf as required.

You've been served!

Couch is served. Have not heard from a lawyer yet. Archer and Blain missing. Simon is served and has counsel.
Eyelogic served, and counsel retained.
Alberta lands are liened. We are working on BC lands but that requires a BC legal action---it is almost ready.
