I m sorry, I have always fulfilled my responsbilites to the bst of my ability and of course will continue to do so. The items you listed are all complex issues . in order to have the best chance to achieve those goals. and per our agreed contract. I would need to have by my side a cfo that I have agreed. Dan is not that person. and I find it odd that you would on one hand want the best results and at the same time attempt to burden me with someone who I have not agreed to be part of my team. I appreciate the offer ofjames at no charge. and might call on him, I might call on dan as well , but to accomplish the best result for the investors the company and its employees requires a different person . please choose another one as soon as possible.
