Translation of the original mail by Ebe Huizinga
Dear mister Van der Molen,

Now that you've also involved EffecTeak in your smear-campaign. you've crossed the line.

Up till now, your mud swinging has always been accepted with a shrug of the shoulders because your little company Sicirec stands for nothing. But, the regardless destruction of new impulses in the teak branch proofs once again proves your absolute lack of knowledge about the product. On top of that, your knowledge of forestry is measured by the absolute point zero of your employee Edwin Kielman. This "GOD" in the teak field dismisses the knowledge of our 14 professional forestry experts by criticizing their monitoring report while these are people who are working daily in teak plantations according to strict criteria. A separate letter will follow shortly in which we will set this mister Kielman and you personally responsible for millions Euros of damage to our companies.

I hereby demand that you seize your exertions with EffecTeak per direct and that you remove all your unjustified attacks on Flor y Fauna S.A. from the Internet per direct. Your so-called valuation table of Flor y Fauna will also immediately have to be suspended because neither you or your employee are capable of executing this in an honest and trustworthy fashion. Your knowledge from a distance and based on hearsay doesn't give you the right to review us, neither negatively or positively. Although your judgement is based on nothing, you do present yourself on the Internet as the consumer guide of teak country. Of course, nothing is farther away from the truth.

Translated where necessary, a letter with all the complaints against you will also be send to the A.F.M. authorities, DNB, to your banks in the Netherlands and Costa Rica, to the FSC headquarters and the FSC office in the Netherlands, to FIOD in the Netherlands, to as many Sicirec shareholders as possible, to all the companies in the teak branch about which you judge, to all newspapers and other media, enz., enz.

If you hone my summation, with the help of intermediaries, we will have to find a way out for the investors which originally invested at Flor y Fauna. These people have been lured under your umbrella under false pretenses and with impossible advantages. It cannot be so that our people become the victim of your bartering.

Meanwhile, I sign,

Ebe Huizinga
