22 The more glaring lie in Respond.ent's narration. of events in his article 'Was

which . etter alleged r contained sta:rements that Responden sto .. e money from OPSEC

or .~iECO. As far as ltVe can remember we have never sent a letter to this effect to

Respondent's church or to Respondent himself. The truth Ls, as Wormed. by OPSEC

whenwe communicated to them reprclin.g the matter" OPSEC through its counsel Atty.

Mylcne A. yturralde-Chan and upon its L'1Scrucfjo~ sent a demand Letter dated ~. 6,

1\. arch 2009- The said Demand tether was specifical-y addressed to Respondent and

~ OT '0 Trinity Baptist Church. Ev,~,n. so, es can be gleaned Iromthe tenor of the

Demand Letter, Respondent was, not recklessly and baselessl y accused or criminal

misdeed, as OPSEC would have not demanded ll:\,e accounting and return of the

amount under U1.e' custody 'tben of Respondeat if :t has no valid and legal ground.

;

v~torthy of mite is the .fact that the demand upon Respondent to account and return he

to be' true as the S€'arm conducted m the house of Respondent ridded no only the

demanded. that he account for and return the money he apparently embezzled. and the

documents he unlawfully ,took from OPSECb'teluctably, Respondent has no other

£o~ign investors.
