Letter to Mr. Tkach from Jules Dervaes

Dear Mr. Tkach,

I feel embarrassed writing you again, especially since I’ve been writing monthly now since February.  As before, I am requesting to see you personally, at your convenience.

I could come to your office and wait until there was an opening; but, then, I know that you must be very busy and I know I must be patient.  Also, I have obligations at my work that can’t be shunted; and so I would like an appointment to be scheduled for me when possible.

Although Mr. Horchack did call the Friday of May 16 and talk to my wife (I was at work), he informed her that Mr. Salyer was out of town.  He mentioned that there would be contact made the following week after graduation (May 26 – 30); but no definite date was set and no firm arrangements were made.  I waited last week in order to give Mr. Salyer time to make the necessary appointment.

However, now I don’t believe that I should see Mr. Salyer; for, in the end, I shall have to see you anyway.  In order for me to carry out the principle of Matthew 18:15, I would need to talk about the situation involving ********* ******.  Since you already know about that matter, I feel it would be more complicated, and also inappropriate, for me to involve anyone else.

All this will take some time to get straightened out; and I feel it is best to bring it to your personal attention.

Having already waited these past four months, I would like to see that things are progressing to a resolution.  However, I will continue to wait if you do not feel the need to see me at this time.

Thank you for your concern and assistance in this matter.  May God guide and direct your ways.

Jules Dervaes
