## Body

Dear Mr. Cutting:

The person in my phone, I suppose, across everyone, that I've known the longest, is my lawyer.....  (I was 17 or 18 when my aunt sued me, I believe) - It was my uncle that was the guy who crashed Sonoma Valley Bank. I always hated that guy....... My grandfather hated him as well. When he was arrested I wrote a Facebook comment on the story section of the Marin IJ, saying I knew he was guilty, and listed my reasons from knowing them to be dishonest, and, called them psychopaths, she sued me for libel & defamation, since I had just been on the cover of the newspaper, had the larghest  Conservative blog in the country, and it cost me a couple hundred thousand dollars in legal fees before they gave up. He drove his car off a cliff around the Stinson coast, the day before he was going to appear before the SF Circuit, "accidentally". You would have loved him, he was corrupt, just like you.

I thought I was rich, when I was young, but, looking back, I was so poor, I could not afford a single enemy that I could do without.

This whole time I thought you were some small town inbred cow fucker, and, now I know you've been richer than me, all along.

I am spending the day burning all my comms & tech, consolidating, switching to my other computer, it's - very impressive, it's got 1 TB of Ram, very swift, your "IT" people will love monitoring it.

No more e-mail, no more phone, no more of a lot of things. I didn't even know you, until your corruption forced its way into my life, and, you worked so hard, to earn my hate, if I had known how rich you are, when you first emailed me, I would have been beside myself with anxiety to meet you, the richest man I have ever met.

Very Truly Yours,
