Lie

An odd thing happened last night. The results of someone's lie got someone sent a legal letter - the kindest way to put it would be that the letter was misinformed. The most accurate would be that it contained outright lies - lies which I found evidence of in my late father's records.

Why the lie? The answer, quite simply, is greed and the want to get something for nothing. It involved land and Trinidad and Tobago law - and it is in process at this point, so I can't write the details of it yet. Let it be said that a person is claiming that they accumulated rights through not paying rent on land in Trinidad and Tobago - a measly $52 TT a year - approximately $8.25 US/year per acre. Sounds pretty rough, doesn't it? But they did pay rent. I found the receipts in their file. Did they expect we weren't keeping records? I suppose that was it.

To top it all off, this is after I was talking to them about the price of purchasing the land. Suddenly, they decided to negotiate by falsehood. Convenient.
