Dear Commando Dave,

I work for John Rutledge as his assistant and he was concerned about an email you sent him August 14th. You seemed upset that one of our portfolio companies had violated our principles here at Rutledge. If this is true, we would definitely want to know about it but we have no way of knowing which company you are referring to or who or what any of the details are regarding this. Could you give us a little more information so we might be able to straighten this out? We would be happy to talk by phone or email if this is what you prefer. Please let me know if we can be of further help but at this point, we really need more information. Thank you for your response.

Best regards,

Heather Dunn
Assistant to Dr. John Rutledge
