Dear Mrs. Emanuel:
My name is Matt Bratschi. I'm the public affairs director for Hollander Consultants. I'm going to be in Florida in a few weeks and I wanted to see if I could meet with you. I'll be available for a meeting on either March 17, 18 or 19. Please let me know one way or another. I'd be happy to meet somewhere in your area at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Matthew Bratschi
Director of Public Affairs

Sorry for the delay, I've just returned from out of town.
Why do you want to meet with me?

Dear Mrs. Emanuel:
Thanks for responding.I was hoping to get in communication with you to see if there is a way we could resolve your animosity towards Hollander Consultants. It's been almost 8 years since your trip to Portland. That's a long time. I thought now might be a good time to start peace talks. I figured since the Palestinians and the Israelis can occasionally sit down to discuss peace, we could too. There's certainly less at stake here than a homeland for a displaced nation.
Sincerely,
Matthew Bratschi

Hollanders had a chance to resolve this at the start by refunding our money--they refused. And (I don't know if you are aware of this) after discussing the matter with Mr. Silver, I asked that my 'letter to Hollanders', then posted on Arnie Lerma's site, be removed. It is only in the past few years that I have had anything specifically about Hollanders on my own site.
In short, I don't see that we have anything to discuss, Mr. Bratschi. Hollanders will not be refunding any portion of my money, and I will not be taking down any portion of my website.
