Michele 1 #26 January 5, 2005 QuoteFYI - I believe you should legally be allowed to see this letter if it was used to help remove you from your job. Actually, I think CBS is right. And you can bring it to a lawyer, who may be able to see that damages are recovered, and that this can't follow you. Sometimes, using the law when you've been intentionally damaged is the way to go, even if it means suing another skydiver. I can't think of a post you made that would be problematic for your clients though...or your work. I don't even know who you work for, and I've been around a while. And I echo the sentiments....whomever did this is not to be trusted, either in the air or on the ground.
