Dear Gordon Peterson from Funk Brothers LLC, Eugene Oregon
Your phone is cancelled and you don’t respond to our e-mails.
This mail is for the parts what we didn’t receive, ORDERED AND PAYD IN JUNE 2007.
The 200$ was for my kids, for the Christmas presents!!!!
They say thank you very much for your honest business !!!!!!!!!
I will keep my eyes open for you and your **** BROTHERS business.
Stay far away from me or I will ……….
My good connections and friends in the USA can bring you to JAIL !!!!!!
I hope you enjoy our money.
Greetings from Switzerland
Yuck Fou
ATTENTION FOR ALL CUSTOMERS
AND CLIENTS FROM FUNK BROTHERS !!!!!
And the answer from the Funk's:Gordon has been in the hospital and is still going through treatment for his Cancer.
We have built Gordon a shop at his home and have returned all projects that were not started.
What ever this issue is with your order will be resolved this month.
I have forwarded your email (threat) to Gordon’s attorney.
I can not believe that a grown man would act the way you have over $200.00!
To threaten a person that is extremely ill and may not make it through treatment shows that you have no concern for anyone but yourself.
Maybe you will get Cancer someday and then you may be able to relate.
I will make sure you are the last one taken care of.
The line about that money being for Christmas was pathetic on your part.
Sincerely,
John Peterson
