Dear
Anne, It is
with profound regret that I read your email - I took Marc's
recommendation – and signed a contract with you - without seeing any
substantial evidence in support relating to your expertise. Your
insistence after two months that I should sign a contract with and use your
preferred software developer and business colleague - is against my
interest. Although
I had previously stated that I would go with your recommendation - due
diligence on my part required that I protect myself - by seeing
actual evidence of past work performed - none was ever offered or supplied
on request. Despite
repeated requests to both you and Nick Macpherson - for evidence of past
projects created by him - to support your recommendation to use him as the only
software developer - I have had no response. It
was never made clear from the start that working with you required working with
your team – You always implied in your correspondence that these developers
were independent. Since
the statements in your previous email clearly state that the first module
would be ready by the end of January - and in the following email - you
inform me that you are not willing to complete any work - is baffling. As
stated by you in writing - in your contract proposal to me - which I
accepted by paying you the agreed portion of the fee that you demanded - You have a
contractual duty - to perform the tasks contained in the said contract. I
totally refute all the statements of your latest email - because they are
blatantly incorrect - My partner and I - will over the next weeks compile our
full and detailed response to your recent email and any subsequent consequences
as a result of your action - e.g.: non-delivery of agreed tasks. Suffice
it to say that - If you now decide - to withdraw from your
contractual duties - whether partially or completely - you will be in breach of
contract under In
conclusion, we wish to reassure you – yet again, that we are happy for you to
complete the project as per your contract and as agreed with us – and that the
funds to pay for the completion for the project as submitted by you to me are
in place. Yours Lloyd
