Dear Mr. Larsen:
I have recently taken
the time to review some the statements and
information you have published about my business and
me on http://www.amquix.info. While I respect your
right to express opinions and beliefs, making false
and damaging statements about my business and me is
entirely unacceptable.
Unfortunately, the
number of errors you make about my business and our
entire business model demonstrates your lack of
understanding of that business model. There are
fundamental facts known to any established IBO,
which you either don’t know or badly mangle. These
"fundamental facts" are also easily accessible and
could have been checked and verified prior to your
posting. You present yourself as an expert source,
but in fact you have merely taken a few facts
grossly out of context and combined that distortion
with directly false information. This is also
completely unacceptable.
The purpose of this
letter is to inform you of the accurate facts
relative to the false information you have posted,
and to demand that you correct the record
immediately. Specifically, your post, dated January
30, 2005, contains false and misleading information,
including the following:
-
The "custom
SA-4400" to which you refer is a document
prepared for my organization in cooperation with
Amway Global / Quixtar and is copyrighted by
Amway Global / Quixtar. I did not
stamp a Amway Global / Quixtar copyright on the document.
Please refer to the enclosed
Statement from Amway Global / Quixtar
for accurate information about the document.
-
You erroneously
assert that an IBO with two qualifying legs must
have at least 2500 PV in side volume to qualify
for the leadership bonus. There has never been a
side volume requirement to be eligible for the
leadership bonus when an IBO has two qualifying
legs. The accurate information is readily
available by simply reading the Independent
Business Ownership Plan, a copy of which is no
doubt in your possession.
-
Near the
beginning of your post, you accurately state
that the SA-4400 "shows an income potential of
$56,940 earned over 24 months or more."
Conversely, later in your post you indicate that
the form highlights a potential income stream of
"$56,940/year." The plain language of the
example contained in the SA-4400 provides that
the $56,940 cumulative cash awards are "earned
over a period of 24 months or more." The
inconsistencies can only serve to confuse the
reader.
-
You further
state, falsely, that an IBO with two qualifying
legs and 7500 PV in side volume would generate
"at most $750/month" in leadership bonus. The
correct figures may be ascertained by making a
simple computation from the information provided
in the SA-4400.
You claim that the
Amway Global / Quixtar approved and copyrighted SA-4400 is "overly
deceptive" and that by using the form I am deceiving
others who rely in the information provided.
However, the issues you raise are not subject to any
meaningful debate because the underlying facts you
use to support your premise are false and
misleading.
Like others, I have
undertaken the onerous task of reviewing your Web
site and other locations for other false and
misleading information you have published. If such
information is found, I will also demand that you
correct the record where appropriate.
I am demanding that, on or before
January 17, 2006, you remove all of the foregoing
false and misleading statements and information from
your Web site or any other site or medium where they
may appear. In addition, I am demanding that you
promptly confirm to me, in writing, that you have
taken such action.
I will not stand by and allow you to
continue disparaging me with false and damaging
statements and information. Your conduct has caused
me damage and has damaged my business. If you fail
to remove all of the false information and correct
the record, I will take any and all measures to
obtain the redress to which I am entitled.
Sincerely,
Billy Florence
