Dear Ms. Emerine:

During 1996,  I was  victimized by a small white collar racket in
Tucson.   A local  health food  chain hired  me  to  defend  them
against a federal grand jury subpoena for company records.  I was
appointed to  the position  of Vice  President for Legal Affairs,
and that appointment was presented to federal district court as a
bona fide document.  A similar document was presented to court as
a bona  fide non-disclosure  contract barring the General Manager
from   disclosing   company   records   without   prior   written
authorization of the company's Trustee.

What I  did not  know at  that time  was  that  the  Trustee  who
allegedly signed  these documents  is really  nothing more than a
rubber stamp.   I  have made  numerous attempts  to  locate  this
"Trustee," to  no avail.   When  I first  brought my suspicion in
this regard  to the  attention of the company's accountant, I was
abruptly terminated  one month  later from  my position  as  Vice
President for Legal Affairs.  I was also thrown out of the office
I was  given to  work, and  the General Manager went so far as to
pry into  my private  whereabouts, I believe because he wanted me
to leave town.

The rubber stamp trustee raises several serious questions of law,
including the high probability of fraud, perjury, and contempt of
court for  the two  documents which  were  presented  to  federal
district court  as bona  fide documents,  "signed" by the company
Trustee.   Also, the  General Manger has been "signing" an untold
number of  regular business  checks with this rubber stamp.  Last
but not  least, I  witnessed the  General Manager  culling checks
from the records he was required to disclose to the federal grand
jury, I believe because he had been spending considerable amounts
of trust  money on  personal luxuries,  such as  expensive  South
American macaw birds, and new cars and trucks every year or so.

Not only  is this  a clear  case of  wrongful termination from my
position as  Vice President for Legal Affairs, which is cause for
a major  civil action  which I  am now  contemplating;    I  also
believe that the record supports a finding of probable cause that
the General  Manager and  his accountant are conspiring to commit
fraud, mail  fraud, perjury, and contempt of court with their use
of a  phony company  trustee, who  is nothing  more than a rubber
stamp, controlled  and liberally  used by  the company's  General
Manager whenever  the  need,  or  occasion,  should  arise.    If
employees should get too close to this fraud, they are thrown out
into the street.
For your  information, I  have enclosed  just  one  of  the  many
documents which I can supply to you, in order to substantiate the
facts which I have stated to you in this letter.

Can you help me, please?


Sincerely yours,

/s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell
