My sincere apology for the tardy response, I sent you an email regarding a breach of contract case sometime ago. Unfortunately, my wife and son were tested positive of the Covid-19 Virus. The goodnews is they've recovered and doing great.
We appreciate you giving us a chance to discuss our case. We placed an order for some goods from Winsupply Company back in July, 2019 and the terms of the sales contract requires we to pay 50% of the total cost of the ordered goods before delivery and the balance after we have received the same goods. However, after we made the 50% initial deposit, we did not receive any goods as required. The goods ought to be delivered in August, 2019. More time was given to them to deliver the goods which they were still unable to meet with. Hence, we requested for a refund.
We have made several efforts to have them refund the initial deposit, but to no avail. We have therefore decided to resort to legal means since there is an existing agreement prior to the transaction. Find below details of the supplier for your conflict check.

Are they any foibles you see in this case? If litigation is involved, the distance gives us some concern with regards to court appearances.How can this be handled? How much is your legal fee?

Yes I recently received similar inquiry from a "Steve Harvey" with regard to a claimed contract dispute with Fastenal in Michigan. Will be passing this along to the Michigan AG office to see if they might have some interest.
ReplyDeleteI have created a phony law firm and a hotmail address for it. I engage them in 'representation' and several have sent 'bank checks' by Fed Ex. At the very least, I have wasted many, many hours of their time that they could have otherwise spent fooling some poor soul. And I have cost them hundreds of dollars in Fed Ex costs sending phony checks out. Sometimes I use the mailing address of the local police for giggles. I will say, however, that the check looked really freaking authentic, which scares me.

Counsel,
Thank you for the call. Having reviewed your retainer agreement, we are unanimously content with the details portrayed therein, and have decided to engage your professional services as our legal representative in our case against Fastenal Co. Your standard retainer fee of $5,000.00 and other terms stated are okay by us.
Find the attached the signed page of the fee agreement. The leadership of the company decided to inform "Fastenal Co." of our desire to retain your law firm and forwarded our correspondence to the management, which they have responded to unlike our previous threats to take legal action against them and have requested, we give them a week from today to come up with the funds. The management assured us that although business has been slow due to pandemic but will not fail to remit the funds owed.
Nonetheless, after the grace time expires and no payment, full measure should be initiated against Fastenal Co. Therefore, till the time granting expires, you should not make contact with Fastenal Co., unless we advise you to do so. Furthermore, we instructed them to have further correspondence and funds owed to us sent to your attention. This we believe will prompt them to pay up as failure will attract prosecution.
For the remittance of your retainer fee, please confirm the name and physical mailing address you want the retainer check issued to and If by wire transfer, please reconfirm your banking information. Thank you for your professional assistance. I await your acknowledgment of this email.
Kind Regards,
Steve Harvey

Following my last email to you informing you of our management's decision to inform Fastenal of our intent to proceed with litigation and engaging your service as our legal representative, i received the below email from Fastenal that they will be issuing a cashiers check to your firm as part payment in order to avoid any legal action. They also advised the balance will be paid in two weeks and we are really pleased to hear this decent notification.
Although we are yet to send over your retainer fee due to some urgent company activities currently being sorted out, we will very much appreciate that your firm handles the collection of these funds from Fastenal on our behalf and deduct any cost accumulated so far as well as your retainer fee from the partial payment to be sent.
Kindly provide the requested information;
1.) To whom the cashier's check should be address to:
2.) Comprehensive mailing address:
I will inform you as soon as i receive confirmation that the payment has been sent out to your office. Let me know your availability for a brief call today and acknowledge that you received this email.
