Deputy Chairman FSB Kent
Federation for Small Business (National Headquarters) 7th Floor
Attention - Head of Policy Attention - Head of Procedures Dear Sir's,
I sincerely hope you will be kind and patient enough to read and understand the contents of this email.
These are the facts;
1) In 1998, I developed the “Tendering for Contracts Trainng Programme” which is aimed at teaching small firms how to tender for public sector contracts - I subsequently developed a business relationship with Debasish Sen, at that time Co-Director of MiR Global, and IT and marketing company
2) In 2002, in an effort to get support for my programme I contacted the Office for Government Commerce (OGC), and as a result was invited to a meeting in London, I requested permission to take my colleague and associate Debasish Sen to this meeting – which took place in Victoria Street, London
3) As a result of discussions with OGC - I sent to OGC, a copy of my training programme On CD-ROM
4) OGC - Informed me that - Ian Williams was the person at SBS - who was developing a procurement policy and I should deal with him - they also sent the CD-ROM to Ian Williams
5) I successfully applied for an Innovation Grant in 2005 - Debasish Sen, as my associate acted as my consultant – Debasish Sen requested and was given several copies of the training programme in order that he could perform the function of a consultant on this project
6) I am not aware of when Debasish Sen, joined the FSB, however at some stage during our meetings with Ian Williams of the SBS, he informed me that he had become Deputy Chairman of FSB Kent- 7) In secret, Debasisih Sen together with Ian Williams and the Chairman of FSB Kent formed the National Procurement Forum - together with others
8) None of these persons were involved in this area of work - before they had sight of my programme - through my former associate Debasish Sen and Ian Williams
9) Between 2005 and 2007, a period of eighteen months, I had regular meetings with Ian Williams, Debasish Sen was present at these meetings as my associate
8) Debasish Sen, having been my associate over a period of almost (10 years) – was informed of all aspects of my business, his function was to assist in the marketing of my training programme – Debasisg Sen has a legal Duty of Confidentiality - instead Debasish Sen has ripped off my business and is using my copyright information to promote himself, his associates and his new business venture sic “Big Solutions”
I have been developing this project over a period of (10) years - I have borrowed money from friends and the bank to invested in the project, I have had minimal support from government agencies, while Debasish Sen under the guise of Deputy Chairman of FSB Kent promotes and gains financial benefit from information that was provided by me to him in confidence.
I wish that this matter be
brought to the attention of Debasis Sen without delay – I have in the past written to at least (3) senior
members of the FSB, none have responded, so I have terminated my membership of

All the statements that I have made can be substantiated and coroborated by witness statements which are attached)
Respectfully.
