Dear Mr. Edwin B. Dominado
It took me sometime
before I've decided to do this post. I believe in the power of Karma
and my present financial state is not really that rosy. It has been
a very difficult year and I have not been able to settle a few
financial obligations. I fear that what I am about to do will
rebound on me in the end. But my continued silence about the matter
would mean that it would provide you with an opportunity to take
advantage of other people due to your charm and charisma most
especially the Filipino elderly community in Florida.
Sometime in June, 2013
my bedridden Aunt who regards you as a friend entrusted to you the
total amount of $1,900.00 to be remitted to my father here in the
Philippines. A portion of that amount would have been used for the
medical and medicine expenses of my parents. The rest was alloted to
the educational needs of my sister's children who my Aunt is helping
out. It was a normal business transaction for she has dealt with you
before with regards to remitting money to our family in the
Philippines. For some reason that you only know you were not able to
remit it the whole amount. It took some time and much follow up from
my uncle and cousin, you called us up to inform us that you were
having trouble with your remittance company and would only be able to
remit the initial amount of $300.00 with a promise that you would
remit the rest of the money in installment every other day till its
completed. You sent the $300.00 and we received it last July 23,
2013. Then nothing else was heard from you.
After much follow up
again you gave the excuse that you have been ill and hospitalized
that is why you were not able to send what you have promised. After
which you send the amount of $200.00 last August 13, 2013, then
$180.00 in August 15, 2013. Then with much follow up again of my
cousin you sent the amount of $200.00 last September 9, 2013 with a
promise that you would settle the whole amount by September 13, 2013.
As of this time we have only received the total amount of $880.00
and you still owe us a total of $920.00 that would really been a big
help if you have done so.
Every time my uncle or
cousin conducts a follow up on when you would send the rest of the
money your frequent excuse are the following:
- Your remittance company was in a merger and they are still taking care of the details.
- You were ill and just got out of the hospital.
- You are busy with the various programs of the various organizations that you belong to.
What I find very amusing
is that you maintain a very high profile based on the internet search
that I have done. There are a lot of good write ups about you and
the organizations that you represent. You have always portrayed
yourself as a civic leader with a lot of civic projects in helping
out the poor and creating interest in the arts. Your family business
here in the Philippines is a school that has a Christian sounding
name. And yet behind all of that I still received reports of other
elderly Filipinos who trusted you because of your social standing
with their hard earned money and you did not remit it to the families
here in the Philippines. Is this just one big lie? A Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde scenario?
We might never get the
rest of the money back from you after this and it might have some
personal ramification on my end (Karma, remember). Sharing this so
that others won't be victimized any more and made to suffer of your
charm and deceit. The gamble might be worth it.
Yours Truly;
Mr. Gener Luis
Morada
