Dear Mr. Public Defender, Sir,

 

Re: Bahia Principe Resort, Pear Tree Bottom, Runaway Bay, St Ann

 

Your letter arrived on Friday August 19, 2005. Thank you very much for your prompt intervention!  You, the “voice of the voiceless”, have made us heard where [my brave friend] was getting quite hoarse and I was preparing for drastic clown action. I am very glad that your office exists. It is heartening to know that some things in Jamaica do function.

Mr. [somebody] June 28, 2005 response to you provides a basis for direct communication of I hope a more civil nature. It seems a pity we have to resort to threats of legal action to have our concerns taken seriously, but at least in this country we do have that option. I have joined a group of concerned citizens considering that possibility and will inform you of the outcome of our deliberations.

One of my main motivations in taking on this ‘case’ is for love of a group of boys who told me they couldn’t go crab hunting at Pear Tree Bottom any more because of the fence erected by the developers. They are primary school age, and nobody would generally listen to their young voices, yet it is their future we are determining through our actions. I will let them and others know that you have played a part in representing their interests to the more powerful institutions of government agencies and commercial concerns. It is an important lesson for our youth to realise there are other ways to deal with oppression and frustration than burning tires, shooting people or making useless noise. I intend to spread the word. I only hope you do not get inundated with cases because of it.

Thanks again for the commendable work.

Blessings, Respect, One Love

Sincerely,
