> As far as I am concerned I am thinking of suing, but if you simply paid out my leave I would be satisfied.

You know to many that type of language would be interpreted as a threat. You might also take into consideration the CEO may legitimately believe the company has done no wrong in this case. Not all people/companies respond to threats by getting scared, many fight back.

The allegation which is being made, is that the company accepted a fake/fraudulent letter. It will be highly unlikely that a company would openly admit to be such a victim, unless it was in their best interest.

> If the CEO is as honest as the question makes him out to be, this should be enough, and it's much simpler.

This is business, a CEO's job is to protect the business not kowtowing to someone who is threatening to sue.

I agree. I would never tell anyone I intend to sue them without taking to a lawyer first.

To add to that, I do not delineate between threats to sue and suing. If you threaten to sue me I will instruct my lawyers to beat you to the courthouse with a countersuit. I've found this attitude tremendously clarifying in the long run.

To clarify: what do you propose the countersuit would be?
