The process was long and fruitless. It came as a big surprise that your agent or agents were speaking with the prosecutor. As a result, we could not have any further connection with your company. Moreover, you didn't speak to the defendent's attorney. It is a hope that you can see the impression left by not disclosing this to us until an inadvertent comment from an employee. We were all uncomfortable before knowing the full details hence unwillingness to proceed with your additional requirements. This action confirmed our trepidation and increased our concern.
Our initial interaction was positive. Therefore, the outcome was not expected.
