Paul,
This is not the first 1me you have sought to evade responding to ques1ons by claiming to have answered them elsewhere in (unspecified) previous correspondence. However in order to put the ma@er beyond doubt I spoke to Mr Begg this morning who has confirmed that you have certainly not answered this query. Therefore for the benefit of myself and the other leaseholders, (who in any event do not have access to that correspondence with Mr Begg), please answer the ques1ons put to you in my e-mail of 21 October, which are set out below:
“If you have nothing to hide, it would be very much more useful simply to give the lessees a brief list of who was paid how much in rela1on to the refurbishment works, as you have been requested to do so oLen. We are not idiots and we are not fooled by all your deliberately misleading diversions and obfusca1ons.
In my earlier e-mail of 14 October I said that the total monies s1ll remaining unaccounted for was £25,121.54. You replied that: “£25,121.54 is the cost and installa5on of the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank with the balance remaining in reserves”. You very carefully avoid saying how much was actually spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank. But if we assume that the total amount spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank was the originally budgeted amount of £13,147 (£7,810 for the water tank and £5,337 for the communal TV/Sky), this would suggest the amount remaining in reserves is £11,974.54 and that the total amount spent on the project (including the sum of £31,765.21 which you have admi@ed was paid by MHML to itself or to you or your sub-contractors) was £117,435.21, as set out below:
AR Lawrence
Surveyor
MHML/you/your sub-contractors Communal TV/Sky and Water Tank Total spent
£62,010.00 £10,513.00
£31,765.21 £13,147.00
£117,435.21
However if we assume that the total amount spent on the communal TV/Sky and Water Tank was not in fact £13,147, but the whole of that unaccounted for figure of £25,121.54, (which is of course highly unlikely) then the amount remaining in reserves would be zero and the total amount spent on the project (including the sum of £31,765.21 which you have admi@ed was paid by MHML to itself or to you or your sub-contractors) would have been £129,409.75, as set out below:
AR Lawrence £62,010.00 Surveyor £10,513.00
MHML/you/your sub-contractors £31,765.21
