[expatriate]

Good Afternoon everyone.

I am afraid that there has been no formal response to my letter or my follow ups. I am not surprised at this (and neither should anyone else), but I am, of course, saddened by the way things appear to be heading. The only facts that are certain are that Mr Whalley, despite all the obvious credit that must accrue to him for the positive contribution he has made, seems increasingly keen to sell, whilst at the same time Mr O Neil has not been able to complete the acquisition.

I will send another follow up letter today, and I promise to maintain transparency of action and intent via this bulletin board.
