To the above addressed person,

Greetings!

Please be informed that our client, BUKIDNON PLANTERS’

ASSOCIATION, INC. (BPAINC), sought legal assistance regarding several amounts
of money which you misappropriated for your own personal benefit to the damage
and prejudice of our client.

Per thorough reviewing by the BPAINC of several customer ledgers, it was

discovered that there have been several instances wherein false and erroneous entries
in the said ledgers, doubtful negotiations, and other machinations which resulted to
loss on the part of BPAINC. These customers include, but limited to: (a) Geonard
Alega, wherein a credit amounting to P571,624.21 was indicated but there was no
actual payment made; (b) Agapito Alega for the amount P2,299,845.01; (c) Norna
Adam for the amount of P20,699.00; (d) Juanito Idon O. Adam – P 631,085.54; (e)
Norana Adam – P30,969.02; (f) JOH Paraan Adam – P 486,707.15; and (g) Sarah
Pasand Adam – P 2,663,890.49. Summing the amounts would result to P
6,704,820.42.

Since you are an employee of BPAINC, you violated and breached the trust and
confidence reposed upon you by BPAINC.

Under our law, it is criminal act for a person to falsify accounting records, to
take personal property of others and, to misappropriate the personal property of
another, thus:

Art. 310 of the Revised Penal Code provides, “Art. 310. Qualified theft. — The crime
of theft shall be punished by the penalties next higher by two degrees than those respectively
specified in the next preceding article, if committed by a domestic servant, or with grave
abuse of confidence, or if the property stolen is motor vehicle, mail matter or large cattle
or consists of coconuts taken from the premises of the plantation or fish taken from a
fishpond or fishery, or if property is taken on the occasion of fire, earthquake, typhoon,
volcanic eruption, or any other calamity, vehicular accident or civil disturbance.

Art. 172 of the Revised Penal Code. Falsification by private individual and use of
falsified documents. — The penalty of prision correccional in its medium and maximum
periods and a fine of not more than One Million pesos (P 1,000,000) shall be imposed
upon:
 1. Any private individual who shall commit any of the falsifications enumerated in
the next preceding article in any public or official document or letter of exchange
or any other kind of commercial document; and

2. Any person who, to the damage of a third party, or with the intent to cause such
damage, shall in any private document commit any of the acts of falsification
enumerated in the next preceding article.

Lastly, Art. 315 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended provides that [s]windling
(estafa). — Any person who shall defraud another by any of the means mentioned
hereinbelow shall be punished by:

1st. The penalty of prision correccional in its maximum period to prision mayor in its
minimum period, if the amount of the fraud is over Two Million Four Hundred Thousand
pesos (P 2,200,000) but does not exceed Four Million Four Hundred Thousand pesos (P
4,000,000), and if such amount exceeds the latter sum, the penalty provided in this paragraph
shall be imposed in its maximum period, adding one year for each additional P 2,200,000;
but the total penalty which may be imposed shall not exceed twenty years. In such cases, and
in connection with the accessory penalties which may be imposed under the provisions of
this Code, the penalty shall be termed prision mayor or reclusion temporal, as the case may be.

1. With unfaithfulness or abuse of confidence, namely:

(b) By misappropriating or converting, to the prejudice of another, money, goods, or

any other personal property received by the offender in trust or on commission, or for
administration, or under any other obligation involving the duty to make delivery of or to
return the same, even though such obligation be totally or partially guaranteed by a bond; or
by denying having received such money, goods, or other property.

Thus, BUKIDNON PLANTERS’ ASSOCIATION, INC. is formally

demanding you to PAY AND SETTLE your obligation, otherwise the filing the
necessary case against you in the regular courts for the settlement of your obligation
and to enforce and protect their rights with damages will be acted upon and for your
possible imprisonment. We are giving you TEN (10) DAYS from receipt of this letter
to settle this matter.

Please treat this letter with preferential attention it deserves and spare this with
