In that email you make a number of allegations including bias, victimisation and corruption,
against several employees of the Department, and refer the recipients to two websites where

a number of defamatory imputations against those employees, and as such my client
requires that you take the following action immediately:
1. That you send an immediate full retraction to the persons who have received the
emails referred to, retracting the allegations made .

2. That you remove or cause to be removed all material posted by you which relates to
Department of Education employees from the websites
