Dear ACFO Seager,

Thank you for your letter dated 24th May 1999.

My willingness to assist you remains undiminished. Notwithstanding, you have refused to answer my reasonable questions posed to you 17th May 1999, to which you must have some answer. Once more I would be pleased if you could respond or, if not, please indicate that you are unable to.

I should inform you that Ff Hyde has already made a statement in relation to the questions offered to him on 23rd March 1999. As you may recall you withdrew from meaningful correspondence on or around 21st April 1999. In compliance with your instructions all further submissions were directed to the presiding officer. As a result I accept you would have been unaware of Ff Hyde’s response dated 24th April 1999. I note you seem to dwell on this issue to the detriment of the content of my letter 17th May 1999.

Once more I ask you for the name of the person who has made the complaint against Ff Hyde. We have now been asking for these basic details to no avail for three months. This is required for consideration in the discipline case and other courses of action, both internal and external.

I would be pleased if you could demonstrate good faith in the best traditions of mercantile law from which the concept is derived (honesty, fairness and reasonableness).

Finally please indicate the relevance of the documents I questioned in my letter 17th May 1999. At the same time we would be most grateful if you could confirm that all documents served 13th April, of which some are undated and unsigned, are to used as evidence. I assume you are aware these documents are date of date and authorship.

Yours faithfully
