hahaha I like #1
#2 hum - why not? First, we spent a great deal of money
getting most of these clients for you - do you think not giving us anything on
prescreening them for you to take is fair? I think at least 10% on them is fair
given the situation. On another note, what if jawad pans out to be a $3M+
win? We don't get compensated for the nearly 2 months you spent on that?
#3 ok
#4 what do you mean? The letter that says you will not
accept clients on the non 28? I am not going to sign dramatically
different letters - I.e. my letter to the 28 clients basically says we don't
want them but your proposed letter to the remaining does not have a similar
tone/feel....I would similar tones/feels
5) Call me paranoid but what if the name changes to
Puckett, Faraj, and Montalvo will that firm and you individually not solicit
clients for at least 90 days?
6) assuming 2-5 above are agreeable then 1 and 6 are no
problems
