<P>DEVELOPED FOR the RAGOTEURS IN ANY KIND "makes of them the four or five
slobbery over-devouts of the forum" because the other members are unaware of
them. With their place I will have shame to have had such remarks to know that
it is only about anonymous letter since the latter not courage to employ their
own name and sign under pseudo. But I make a point of announcing to them all
the same that in the event of deposit of complaint for slandering, the
qualified services would have the possibility of identifying them without
difficulty. For a few weeks, I have followed time to other the forums model
makers which comment on the event and I think that it is time for me to
intervene and to give the things to the point. First of all PL PROD was not
put in bankruptcy but it is of my own initiative that I filed for bankruptcy,
which in France is an act of management and not a personal bankruptcy. Much
among you will understand that it is humanly difficult to announce this kind
of decision by Internet, namely that moreover it was impossible to to me to do
it day when liquidation was marked with the court since the discontinuance of
business was imminent whereas I hoped to have an agreement of the judge to be
able to finish my deliveries in the course of customers whose installment had
been boxed. The reasons of my decision are not like it was known as in the
forum a lack of order quite to the contrary. But with my problems of health
which last since more than one year, I have no possibility to work like before
and I had to engage of the personnel to face my many orders. Unfortunately,
the same problems which were the cause of the legal rectification in 2000,
again arose; employees not qualified to form, wages and exuberant social
contributions compared to work provided, various prud' man for certain
employees who believed any knowledge... and obviously in France the employer
is always wrong, all this generates enormous court expenses. Like he was said
by a member of the forum, it is true that a great number of SME or SME are
only delocalized abroad and to be to relieve of the social contributions which
are much too heavy in France. Moreover why not consider such a solution for
the future!!!!! I knew well that the vultures would be with the mounting and I
announce to crafty one who think, I quote them: "to be made gold testicles"
and which in their dream reserve parts, or "foreigners with their full pocket"
or those still which think that the company is not worth anything, and well
for some it has a very great value and for all those which would like to come
to make deals, they will may find it beneficial to have very solid finances
because they will have vis-a-vis them somebody which has them to him and
moreover one hard motivation like a "rock". Personally my only wish currently
is to make return a maximum of money at the time of the sale so that the
syndic can deaden the debts to the maximum. As opposed to what Mr. PALERMO
announced following his visit in my residence where is located the company,
the buildings are not emptied, all stock and the machines remained in place as
at the day of the pronunciation of liquidation. And will remain it under my
personal guard without the syndic did not consider it useful to put at it
sealed or to remove the material. What shows a whole confidence on behalf of
the syndic towards me. I also expected to see some unloading some ones, to see
whether there were nothing with grappiller and indeed I saw some coming some,
of which Mr. PALERMO and his son. I quote them bus me I do not hide like them
behind pseudo on the forums to hold to with it of the defamatory and erroneous
remarks. Such as: To say that my wife supposedly said to him that it refused
to return her cheque to him. In connection with this given cheque on November
6 and to box that on December 1, I consider that there was not of order since
it is the payment of the installment which confirms the latter. However not
being able to be taken into account since the company did not exist any more
at the date of November 25 this one became by this null and void fact. This
cheque will be sent dice tomorrow by the post office in recommended A.R with a
letter which will accompany it I join copy to you. Frankly, what I will have
make of a cheque of 330 € to the order of PL PROD!!!! I am not a swindler, far
from there!!! I also advise to him to consult the statutes of the company, it
will note that my concubine "Simone" does not have any share nor bond in
company PL PROD. It affirms to be badly received, those which know us well,
know our direction of the reception. However well on not having let it return
in the buildings, in order to appease his curiosity and I think after having
read his remarks on this forum, I suspect it of having wanted to be useful
itself in stock since it felt swindled whereas its cheque of installment was
never cashed and that it will be it never. I would like just to announce to
the son of Mr. Palermo that if he wrote under the dictation of his father, he
should learn how to judge by itself of the reality of the facts and that if he
wrote his own initiative which he is still quite young person and
inexperienced to hold such remarks because nobody knows what the future can
hold to him instead of unnecessarily wasting its time in the forums that he
should take of the French courses. I also prevent, all those which are to
adapt the photographs of Clara MORGANE on my site PL PROD without
authorization, that these photographs are the property of Patrick LEMONNIER
personally, that they cost me 8000 € for the day of installation with
authorization of exclusive diffusion on stores where they appeared and on my
site. However with all these, I join the article of the penal code to you
which relates to them: ATTACK A LIFE PRIVEE BY RECORDING AND DIFFUSION OF The
IMAGE Of A PERSON WITHOUT HER ASSENT ARTICLE 226-1 AND 226-2 OF CODE PENAL. I
highly invite them to withdraw these photographs of their site which I already
recorded as proof if I do not have excuses into public on this forum like that
was made to dirty me. If not Clara MORGANE will be made a pleasure of
requiring significant damages of them. Act quickly because I am not patient
kind in this field. In addition my personal businesses look at me and I never
neither was windy myself about it nor hidden and these last do not have
absolutely anything to see with the company PL PROD which never did not
produce or diffused a film in this field. It is not a "SCOOP" to speak about
it! That each one does its housework in front of its door before dealing with
that of the neighbor. PL PROD was always more one passion that a profitability
(I am not enrichiesur the account of the company quite to the contrary, I
invested myself as much physically than financially) I think of having done
what is necessary to advance the world of the model amongst other things
reduces the FÁ and the F3M including the electric innovation in FÁ. It should
be known that to make model reduced for the high level competition is a very
delicate trade, very difficult and fragile especially if one wants to make
"HAUTE COUTURE". My great satisfaction currently is of knowing that a great
number of my models are copied throughout the whole World and by many
international companies. Whereas a few years ago I took that for an affront,
now I am proud. With my opinion the progression will be much slower if there
are no more my models to copy. Will know that Patrick LEMONNIER did not say
his last word, that one should not sell the skin of the bear before having it
to kill and I am still quite alive and the head full with ideas for the
future. I thank the regulator for this forum which knew after a fashion to
make reign the order about the insults towards Clara MORGANE and I think that
that should not have been easy. I thank, also, those which took my defense on
this forum as those which remained quiet vis-a-vis these commérages thus
showing the contempt that they bring vis-a-vis such remarks and I know that
you are numerous. I think of having been honest and courteous and I find
damage to be obliged to justify itself on a forum in this way there and I hope
that in the future those which will have some things to say to me or to wonder
will do it directly on my personal e-mail patricklemonnier@wanadoo.fr I make
all reserves on the action pursuant which I will take to these slanderings. I
clearly hope to have been. Patrick LEMONNIER</P></FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>
