Assistant Attorney Barry Goldberg Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan 100 West Randolph Floor 11th Chicago, IL 60601 Dear Mr. Goldberg,

Per your request for a series of events resulting from subcontracting Information Technicians (ITs) of Office Team/Robert Half International (RHI) to service Illinois based Save A Life Foundation's (SALF) 501 c 3 (E9954-4751-03) computer mainframe server, that alimentally resulted in the arrest by Schiller Park Police Cyber Unit and prosecution of Annabelle Melongo. No. 08 CR^10502 by the Cook County State's Attorney for Computer Tampering, and the closure of SALF, (a timeline follows). In good faith SALF signed a contract with Office Team/RHI for placement of their IT Victor Rodriquez October 17, 2005. He was given the computer passwords to conduct his service, which he used to change to his own, locking SALF out, then refusing to provide the new codes unless SALF provided him with full time employment. When SALF reported this extortion to RHI, they sent a number of their own technicians to break in our system. Weeks later their Technicians broke into the mainframe but were unsuccessful in breaking into most of SALF's network computers. December 2, 2005, RHI assigned Annabel K. Melongo, with the assurance she was their top technician and would complete the remainder of the network lockout created by Rodriquez. By mid January, 2006 Melongo was still unable to break the codes and concern were brewing within SALF or her merit. SALF was paying RHI a substantial weekly sum for Melongo yet nothing was transpiring. Fearful she'd mirror Rodriquez's sabotage, SALF asked RHI to replace her with another technician, without notice, so not to be placed in jeopardy. RHI agreed. The morning of April 23, 2006 SALF's employees found their computers/mainframe completely empty and called Schiller Park Police, Cyber Unit D e l William Martin. He worked with SALF's Host WebHSP, discovering Melongo had accessed the mainframe then downloaded all SALF data and files through the DSL during the night. They traced her footprints to her home in Palatine where Martin arrested her and confiscated her computers with SALF's data still in tack. Martin's brief background check revealed Melongo has a history of Cyber revenge, by uploading pornographic pictures onto a MO University Professor computer and stealing files, hoping he'd be arrested. She's here on a student Visa from Cameroon, but couldn't find a work Visa.

SALF contracted Computer Forensics Recovery Teams who recapture about 50% of the data, invoicing SALF +$200,000. Computers were destroyed and down time was extensive. During the Recovery, no one spotted that she had made herself the System Administrator, so after her release on an I Bond, she had access to the server, causing additional damage to SALF's reputation, (goes on to date) leading to her rearrested two months ago, 1 million Bond, awaiting trail. Throughout this ordeal SALF employees and I had direct communications with RHI Recruiters, by phone email and in person. I personally spoke with RHI CEO Harold M. Messner, Jr Secretary LInnea Sloan who asked for our experience in writing. That they then turned over to their council Joel H Kaplan Seyfarth Shaw LLP in Chicago. SALF contracted its own council Tom Dillion who received an off by Kaplan for $12,000 with the stipulation SALF would drop any claims against them for Annabelle Melongo, SALF refused. Dillion was reluctant to peruse filing a law suit against RHI so we reached out to Tom DiCianni, Ancel, Glink, Diamond, Bush, DiCianni, Kraftherfer, P.C who requested a retainer of $10,000, for a few letters'. He did not file a law suit and eventually fell back unless we gave him more money. By this time SALF was forced to close due to the lack of resources. Trying to recoup some of our losses to remain open, I contacted Mr. Kaplan by email who refused to discuss unless I had council. Since that date, I've been searching for an attorney to take this on contingency without success. Today a friend suggested contacting you. I'm aware this was a contractual agreement between RHI/Office Team and SALF. There is a 5 year window to file against RHI. That window comes due April 23 2011. I have support documents to match the attached timeline that apparently proved helpful for the DA. Nothing will bring back SALF and the good work our Emergency Medical Service providers did for the children of Illinois. I'd like to showcase this tyranny, In conjunction with the criminal case, to alert other corporations from falling victim to extortion or sabotage by Temporary placements who have access to sensitive documents and use the internet and computer system to destroy. And require Temporary Agencies to acquire background and Work Visa checks before placement. I've discussed this with AG Madigan who concurs. I'm truly grateful to Attorney General Madigan, State's Attorney Alvarez who've Invested the manpower, resources, outside forensics and special training over these years to convict Melongo. Cyber Terror can only be controlled by those interested in apprehending the perpetrator end setting precedence for our Judicial sysiem to base their rulings and these two women are setting the pace.

Please give my regards to John Finnegain and Elaine Johnson
