International College: Principal's lack of principle

Hi Jurina

Gee it's good to see your name on my screen.

For a while I thought maybe you'd given up on us. This biz with the
transferability from Hubei to Guangdong ... it seemed to have
diminished our [Caron's and mine] prospects of ever settling down with
you in Baiyun.

We have responses from four sets of law firms; all four of them point
to our being served a huge plate of injustice by the folk at the
International College here. We have met with the senior lawyer of the
local Huangshi law firm and now we have our original contracts and are
able to proceed via the Chinese governmental authorities in squaring
with this college. Furthermore, a Guangzhou law firm is also acting
for us and is sending a letter of demand for proper payment and breach
monies [RMB17000 in all] to the college principal.

Concomitantly I am making alternative arrangements to return home to
Australia if all this doesn't work out. If it does, and I am assured
it will, then the only obstacle is this 'letter of reference' which
you tell me is necessary for you to continue with our contract with
you. It is a moot point that this college should hold this
transferability over our heads.

So you see, Jurina, we have achieved much this past few days; but we
need to have assurances that we can proceed to English School without
hassle even if this college holds back with this letter of reference,
seeing that it should be judged in breach of contract and in breach of
Chinese law.

Let me know further what your province thinks of that, please, as I
need to go one way or the other, to you or to home.

Cheers

Adrian
