Dear Mr. Li:
Peace in Christ!
My client Jessica M. Tapia came to my office last January 4, 2016 to seek a legal
advice regarding the controversy involving her with the company, specifically the
forged transactions of Ms. Neh Whang to the bank which made my client to be
answerable and liable to those said transactions. As a lawyer, I just want to
inform you that your actions regarding the said issue in enforcing Ms. Tapia to be
made payable the same was not fair and prejudicial to her rights as a person.
The same should be done in accordance with law.
The forger, whos in this case Ms. Neh Whang, should be made liable with her
acts when she exceeded her rights and acted beyond the scope of authority
given by her principal, Mr. James Bond, in accordance with Negotiable
Instruments Law of the Philippines. Moreover, Ms. Whang may be held guilty of
Estafa under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines for defrauding Ms. Tapia
of the genuiness of the withdrawal slip and abusing the trust and confidence
reposed in her by her principal, Mr. James Bond.
In all instances, my client Ms. Tapia cannot be made payable, unless there is
conspiracy between her and Ms. Whang of the illegal withdrawals of the latter or
if Ms. Tapia is negligent in her acts in those aforementioned transactions. In this
case it was not shown that she acted the same. In fact, she already sent an
explanation letter regarding the said issue that she acted in good faith in dealing
with those transactions. Further, based on the record of service and
performance, it is clearly shown that Ms. Tapia is really committed and dedicated
to her job as a Teller since she became an employee of such company.

More importantly, under the Philippine Constitution, specifically the provisions on

Bill of Rights, No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due
process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws.
The rights of Ms. Tapia for the due process of law is clearly violated. Hence, I
encourage the management to reinvestigate the case in order to come up with a
fair and just settlement of the herein case. Should the company failed to make
reasonable efforts in resolving the said matter, we, together with my client, will
not hesitate to file a case to the court to seek redress against the personnel
involved and the management. Hoping that this letter will merit your actions.
Thank you.
