Dear Shoppers,
I would like to personalize apologize for what has happened.
Our bookkeper whom many of you know, Ann Ramos, has been stealing from the company for 8 years. She was caught in March. In the prior 6 months she had paid virtually none of our bills while writing checks to herself with a forged signature. We are working with the bank and with the Los Angeles Police Department to recover our losses.
Our shoppers are the most important thing we have. Without all of you, we have no business. We have been around for over 32 years! We have always had a tremendous reputation for prompt payment. For years we had 5 day turnarounds. We will get to that again.
We have spent the last 3 months trying to recover from these devistating losses. It has not only affected you, but all of our creditors and the people who work in this office.
I would like to offer my humblest appology for this terrible situation. I feel we are getting closer to getting caught up. I can guarantee you one thing: EVERYONE WIIL GET PAID.
As difficult as this has been for all of you, this has been has a personal nightmare for myself and the my company. A company I am extremely proud of and is my whole life.
If I can answer any quesitions please feel free to E-mail me and I will be happy to give you a status report.
I can tell you that a batch of 800 checks will be release the middle of next week. That won't take care of everyone but it is movement.
Thank you again for all of the work you have performed for this company and for your continued interest in patience.
Sincerely,
Doug Dunlap
President
Hilli Dunlap Enterprises, Inc
