St. Maarten Private Eye

We have news… Here is the word for word letter of January 12, from Westin legal advisor Cor Merx in response to a complaint lodged against the hotel. No I did not make any typos. This is what it is. Raw. Judge and laugh for yourself:

(start quote) "Dear,

My office (Cor Merx legal services) is representing Columbia Sussex Corporation aka West In Hotel at Sint Maarten.

The problems of the “closing” of the road are solved with Government by this week. I do not have the freedom at this moment to explain the details of the agreement with Government. I have to get back for that to my client.

Client does not see or feel the interest of the Dawn Beach foundation by that road because the road is part of the private property of client. Beside that the mentioned road is not mentioned in the ‘Meetbrief’. So client has the right and the freedom to open or to close the road.

I am not aware of problems with septic tanks. I have to evaluate that with my client in a meeting I will have next Tuesday.

As an ober dictum, my client wants to express that it is their policy and intention to live in good hramony with the environment (in any way).

So I would suggest I come back on your matters after Tuesday when I finish my meeting with my client.

This letter has the intention to satisfy your request for an answer before January 16th before 17.000 hours.

Cum amicorum and respectfully yours,

Cor Merx" (end quote)

P.s. If this is the level of professionalism of Westin. We are in for a ride.
P.s two. He really wrote 17 thousand hours!!
