Our client Ms. Natalie Portwoman has informed us of the situation with regards to your
supposed partnership for a business venture. Ms. Portwoman told us that as part of your
partnership deal for the exclusive fitness center for married couples, “Fit Forever Gym”, she will
provide for the capital amounting to P3, 000, 000.00, while you, Sir, will take care of all permits
and oversee the construction of such premises.
However, it has come to her attention that six months have already passed and up to this
date, no progress has been made. Our client has been trying to contact you for updates and
further explanation, but you have failed to communicate with her and fix the said problem.
Because of this incident, we regret to inform you that it has cause some serious
inconvenience on the part of our client and may cause an even greater problem on your part if
you fail to respond and settle this issue as soon as possible.
We advise that you take this matter seriously to avoid probable law suits that may compel
you to fulfill your part of the obligation or indemnification of damages or both. We are willing to
reach an agreement and settle this matter out of court.
Sincerely Yours,
I am Mr. Joselito Santos’s new retainer counsel. My client informed me of the situation
with regards to a supposed business deal between him and the company. It has come to my
attention that AXN Condo Inc. has not settled its balance amounting to P4.5 million pesos
despite the 80% completion of the said project and constant demand and communication for such
matter.
Because of this, Mr. Santos is giving AXN Condo Inc. 30 days to settle the said balance
otherwise, he will be forced to impose legal action against the company. If this case does go to
trial, we are obviously going to seek a recovery well in excess of the policy limits.
We advise that you take this matter seriously so we can reach an agreement and settle this
matter out of court.
Sincerely Yours,
I have received your reply with regards to our initial proposal of 30 days extension for the
settlement of the balance amounting to P4.5 million pesos. As much as we want to extend such
settlement according to the terms given by AXN Condo Inc, I’m afraid we cannot grant such.
Due to the turn of events, my client cannot risk a longer extension. He has already
suffered great losses out of the initial agreement and could not risk to suffer even greater losses
for such extension. However, our client is willing to give the company an extension of sixty (60)
days to settle the FULL amount.
Thank you so much for your consideration and we are hoping to have this matter settled
once and for all.
Sincerely Yours,

Dear Uncle,
I have received your letter regarding your situation with auntie. Its nice to hear that you
finally want to move on with your life and start anew. However, certain circumstances with
regards to your status may hinder you from marrying your girlfriend right away.
First and foremost, marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and
a woman. It is the foundation of the family and an inviolable social institution. The law frowns
on any contraventions that may jeopardize such a special contract. Hence, an affidavit sworn by
you and auntie regarding your mutual feeling of giving each other the freedom to live separate
lives and marry someone else if you wish, is clearly out of the question. There are options
however to ineefectuate your marriage such as annulment or legal separation though it will take
time and money before it can be granted; and the guarantees of its effectivity are also remote.
Secondly, with regards to your inquiry on child support, whether or not you are granted
annulment or legal separation, you will still be duty bound to provide for your child for such is a
conjugal obligation you both entered into when you got married. Child support and family
rearing is an inherent obligation of both spouses. You and auntie will have to settle on an
agreement as to how you would raise your son upon court approval so as to come up with a
compromise.
Finally, with regards to any legal recourse as I’ve mentioned, our country grants legal
separation or annulment. Both, as I’ve said are time –consuming, expensive and not guaranteed.
Sufficient evidence, circumstances and the like is highly necessary to prove your grounds and
mutual agreement is frowned upon by the law. It may take years for investigation, preliminary
hearings and the like, alone; and in the end, there still is no guarantee.
However, if you really are willing to end things with auntie, I will help you through an
annulment or legal separation, so both of you can move on and enjoy the rest of your lives. But
like I said, it’ll take time so you might want to hold on for a while with regards to your marriage
and family plans.
In the mean time, since your marriage is still effective under the law, you still are legally
bound and married to auntie, hence, any child that you may have with your girlfriend is not
granted legitimacy.
I do hope you understand the complications of the matter, uncle. Let me know your plans
and how you’d want to proceed.
Sincerely Yours,
Leah
