disposal of garbage.

He was a competitor of our sanitation business. We had other competitors and got along with them. Sometimes even worked on projects together. But this guy was not ethical.

I would point out to customers in bidding submissions that __ had been indicted by N.J.D.E.P. If you hire him, you are in jeopardy for his actions. (That is part of environmental law).

So I get a letter from his attorney to tell me to stop defaming his client.


ME:

Dear Mr. Attorney,

I thank you for your letter of ______ in which you advise me I am defaming your client by pointing out his environmental violations. Perhaps you didn't know that your client has been indicted by the ___________ county. All I have been doing has been to present copies of the newspaper article that reports on his indictment. If you feel your client has been defamed, you may want to sent your cease and desist letter to the newspaper's office.

Your friend,
