Dear Sirs,

With reference to the the Madeleine Fund - leaving no stone unturned, as a member of the Public I wish, that the following points are clarified, as Mr & Mrs McCann have been made formal suspects, by the Portuguese Police, with regards to the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.

The following points are:

Since Mr & Mrs McCann have been made formal suspects, please could you confirm that all payments to them have been suspended since their arguido status date and will remain suspended until they are exonerated or their arguido status is lifted whichever is the soonest. Due to the severity of the allegations made by the Portuguese authorities I feel that no payments should be made, until the above happens, as this could be construed as making gains from a criminal activity.

Also I would be most appreciative if you can confirm that you have approached the Portuguese authority offering any financial assistance they require, with regards to a reconstruction being done, based on the events of the 3rd May, 2007.

Can you also confirm, that the fund is not paying for any services by outside organisations in respect of investigations, i.e. CRG or any company that offers investigation services, to help clear Mr & Mrs McCann, and is only paying for those services that are actually investigating sightings etc of Madeleine.

Please could you confirm whether any other members on the board have any professional/social connections with Mr & Mrs McCann, as this could also be classed as a conflict of interest, when making any payments to Mr & Mrs McCann.

Further more could you confirm whether the fund that is classed, become known as the legal fund., whether this is a limited company and if it has been registered at Companies House, if so please could you supply registration no.



Also as the majority of the funds were donated by the public, please could you confirm that accounts will be shown, to include exactly where the money was spent and who received payments.

Thanking you in anticipation and I await your reply.


Yours faithfully
------------------------------------
Copy of e-mail I have sent to the fund, solicitors and auditors.
I await their reply and will paste onto thread as soon as I receive it, that's if they bother to reply.

EDITED I have also resent e-mail requesting to know if the Legal Fund has been registered with companies house.

Charity News Alert
Maddy�s Fund rejection story �misreported�?says Commission
Gareth Jones

The Charity Commission has denied a report in The Times newspaper that it refused to award charitable status to the fund set up by the parents of missing child Madeleine McCann to finance the international search effort.

The Commission was quoted in the article as saying the money raised was not for the �wider public good�? but has told Charity News Alert the story had been �misreported�?

�We were first approached for our advice about the possibility of a fund to assist the parents�?search on Monday 14 May,�?explained a spokeswoman for the Commission. �We held discussions with the family�s lawyers and in the end they decided not to pursue that route.�?

Since the disappearance of Madeleine from a holiday villa in the Algarve, Portugal, on 3 May, the story has captured the public�s sympathy and filled column inches in both the tabloids and the broadsheets. The search fund, known as Madeleine�s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned, has so far raised over �?84,000 from the public and businesses.

Which makes me wonder why only paypal accept payments. Have banks seen through this, surely if would make great business sense and a good PR for their company if they offered online payments through an account.[/quote]

I wrote to my MP about the fund as guess what does not want to know.

Dear xxxxxxx

Thank you for your email which I read with interest. This is, of
course, a private fund and under those circumstances it does not fall
under any parliamentary jurisdiction.

Yours sincerely, Bob Marshall-Andrews QC MP[/quote]

And this is where McCanns have fooled everybody.

There is little, or no, precedent or law for the likes of them. UK law is based on the presumption of "innocent until proved guilty". It means that everyone is assumed to run their affairs honestly and legally. If they do not, the onus is on the police to prove fraud, and this type of white collar fraud is almost impossible to prove, as access to documents is restricted by the fraud-company's legal rights to confidentiality etc. etc.

It is illegal to simply point the finger and say "I know you are conning me" without proof, and the never ending circle begins. I don't approve of death threats to McCanns, but I suspect there will be more.

Presumably, it must have taken a few days to get the paperwork ready to send into the patent office.

The corporation which was set up, Madeleine's Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned Ltd probably took a week or so to be processed, which further May 8.
This would mean that barely two weeks after their child went missing, in the most distressing of circumstances, they had already set up a web site and a business (note: �non charitable services�?, using her disappearance as the basis for it.

Nbrado has made his telephone call to Esther McVey re the Fund and information of call is posted below. Thanks Nbrado.

**RESULT**

I have spoken with esther this morning.

The original number she gave me kept going through to an answerphone I went through to the switchboard and waited on hold... this time we spoke.

There is no recording of the call as esther could not agree to this and personally I do not blame her.

I raised my initial question regarding why there was an omission of the fact that the mortgage payments had been stopped when their status changed.

Esther did not comment on why it was omitted but went through the fund guideline information and basically pointed out that it was ok up to the point they changed status to use the fund money to pay such things.

nothing we didnt already know just the legal stance stance that in the guideline under supporting the family it was ok to use the money up until the point that their legal status changed.

she told me that at no point did gerry and kate ask for money.

I raised the point that gerry found it frustrating not to be able to use the money for legal defence and therefore would suggest that HE or someone asked.

esthers response was he must have been taken out of context by the reporter.

make of that what you will.

Next I raised the question how do we get a refund.

Esthers answer was

" I do not want to give anyone false hope but I honestly dont know "

She does not know at this time the standing for people to get a refund however she is having a board meeting on the 14th of november and has promised to raise the question and formulate a response to those wishing to obtain one.

She did point out obviously that anyone seeking a refund would have to provide proof they donated but at this time she again stated she does not know yet but will on the 14th how the public can make a request of a refund.

Esther actually asked me a question!

why do people feel they need a refund what have they been saying.

I told her that its a moral issue and that people expected the money to fund a search not a mortgage and the hiring of companies that do not specialise in missing persons has people upset.

her answer to this was that brian kennedy and richard branson are footing the bill for the investigators at the spanish phone company and current campaign actions in process.

so officially people brian and richard are paying ALL bills at the moment not the fund.

I thanked her for her time and she will contact me after the 14th to advise what the fund board situation is on refunds.

until then as esther said no false hope people...

From nbrado

No problemo guys and gals.

lets see what the 14th brings in terms of how people are entitled to a refund from the board.

I did point out to esther that legally i'm not implying that they did anything wrong but the whole thing stinks on a moral issue and that is why people are upset.

it was nice of her to take the time finally to answer my questions and she was nice enough on the phone.

though it is official brian and richard are paying the bill for everyting at the moment and that includes the call center and phone lines in spain.

interesting I thought...

why the freeze on spending the fund money and having them foot the bill..

obviously the 14th is when the issue will be raised and discussed till then I suspect they dont want to touch the cash till a bulletproof plan is formulated and a reponse to those seeking refunds.

best not spend anything donated until then eh

excellent work you two doobyscoo
