Jean luc,

Jean luc, I write this to let you know I have made a decision re your legal action filed against me in the State of Florida To say that I was amazed to read it in the newspaper would be a huge understatement You and I have been friends , very good friends best friends for almost twenty years. You were always there for me , and I was there for you. We have always been correct with one another. At least until you filed the lawsuit. I have stood by you, when no one else would. And you have stood by me. When you had your tax issue with the IRS . I immediately jumped into help. Marissa stealing preceded any trouble I had. You have repeatedly thanked me for my help. Reciting numerous times how without my help you do not know how you would have survived. I will not list for you , all the things that you have done for me, and certainly would find it vulgar to have to list for you , things I did out of true friendship .for year after year When you asked me what I thought could be done re the bad google articles. I told you that I did not have an answer, I had tried to use reputation mgmt , and they had failed. I told you I did not have any solution separate from letting time pass. I understand that these articles , none in my control , has had a negative impact on us both, but I certainly could do nothing to stop them. I have yet to say one bad thing about you, even after you have broken our friendship and trust. I am shocked and dismayed, both by the stress that I realize you have been under, but frankly by your behavior that is unexplainable to me.. I m not sure why you did not come to me , sat down , and discussed with me ways that would have avoided this highly unpleasant circumstance in which we find ourselves. That being said, I would be willing to sit with a third party arbitrator who could hear your side of the story, to give you a chanve to air your grievance. I have sent you an offer of settlement for 10k, an amount that to be clear if you reject . might make you liable for all the legal fees I pay to defend your lawsuit . I will proceed to defend myself , using any and all of my resources. I believe you have affirmatively with forethought violated my trust. The consequences of that can unfortuantley be very harsh . I am willing to sit with you anytime you choose between now and the end of Oct. If you choose to ignore this letter and my offer to meet. The results will only be bad for us both , EFTA01107999
