Dear IvIr. Newell:

I have been contacted by Tanya Collier. ft is my understanding
that you have interviewed her at length and have had access to
her medical- records in order to in'uestigate Mercy Corp's
executive director who is al-so Tanya's father.
Ms. Collier told me that you have requested an additional
interview with her. She is concerned about your continued
demands on her and the emotional toll that is taking.
f have advised her that she does not need to meet with you again
because you should have sufficient information from her at this
point.
By this letter I am also revoking any and all medical
authorizations she has provided to you. Frank1y, your obtaining
all of her records seems inappropriate.
If your intention is to protect Mercy Corpr you have sufficient
information to act. I am rather surprised you did not suspend
your executive director pending the completion of an
investigation.
On the other hand., if ycu are actir:g to protect yorrr: exeeutive
director, your contact with Ms. Col.lier was exploitative. She
has received correspondence from you on your firm's leLterhead,
and I know you serve on Mercy Corp's board of directors. To the
extent you are performing legal se,rvices, I would like to be able
to teI1 Ms. Col-lier who you represent.
I would appreciate you directing all future communication
regarding this matter to me.
Very

truly yours,

Craine
