Subject: Payment?

Ms. Dearing,

I’m acting on behalf of several creditors who are owed money by Twin Star. I know Voyages Paradiso, Royal Mares, and Regalle have all paid you, so there’s no reason for you to withhold payment from my clients.

I hear you’ve moved back to the UK. If cash flow has been an issue, then everyone understands. So if the debts are paid within the next five days, no further action will be taken. If they aren’t settled in that time, then I can’t guarantee no one will come looking for an explanation in person. Wherever you are in the world.

Send back what you stole or evidence it’s been totally destroyed.

Pay back what you stole from ME.

I didn’t steal anything from you.

You stole EVERYTHING and more. You told me I was your business partner, that I was a director and had shares in the company, health insurance, and a pension. You knew I wouldn’t question it because we’d been friends for so long.

Any time in the last ten years, you could’ve done a basic search and found out you had none of those things. But you didn’t and that’s on you.
