Jay,


You and I both agreed way back in March of this year that we would work with each other for 50.00 to 75.00 an hour and you requested 4x8 ft. of storage. We agreed upon that. I can go back through every invoice and we rarely hold to our word of 50.00 to 75.00 an hour and we both know you are comfortably enjoying far more than 4x8 feet of storage space at  my location.

I am of the opinion that we have had this conversation too many times. Possibly you don’t hear me or you don’t care to hear me clearly. This is again not what we agreed on and I have decided to be finished with this arrangement. 

Because, I am a gentleman, and wish you no harm, I will fulfill your commitments with your clients regardless of your inability to keep your commitments with me. I will perform the duties outlined in the proposals you have sent over as an attempt at good faith, under the following conditions. The total of these three Jobs is 1335.00 it is obvious that these are again very low numbers, so I would assume this low pricing would definitely fall under the prepaid discount arrangement and should be forwarded immediately. The last of the three jobs strikes on October 3rd, So I am formally requesting that you make arrangements to pick up your inventory Of 21 4x6 BBD’s and 22 4x8 BBD’s and 1 4x6 whiteboard, legs, carts, straps, tarps, ramps, trailer and assorted items regarding this operation soon after the date of October 3rd 2012. In an effort to no longer inconvenience me with your inventory, without compensation or ability to earn from it. Please have it all relocated before noon Friday the 5th of October 2012


It is unfortunate that this has to be the end of our venture, but I find this exit plan necessary as a result of our inability to keep with our original compensation agreement. If I had understood clearly what the real deal was going to be, I would have never considered attempting this venture. I have patiently waited for our arrangement to be as advertised, it’s clear that our agreement is not going to be fulfilled; therefore I am left with no other choice, but to stop this charade.

I believe I have been clear and honest with you and my unhappiness concerning the actual compensation, the actual requirements for the warehousing of the inventory and the actual volume of the workload. This exit plan should come as no surprise to you.

I understand that it is difficult to operate a small business in any economic time and the challenges for you in today’s business world must be even more challenging. Having said that, this venture has not been economically successful for myself, regardless of my attempts to make it work for the both of us. Possibly the lessons learned from these last handful of projects will benefit you going forward addressing the actual requirements for a Los Angeles office. 

Please let me know your intentions going forward, so I may make my plans accordingly,

Respectfully,

Joe Dallacqua
