Philip,

I wish Michael and yourself would pay more attention to what I actually
said.

It was a close, mutual, colleague of Hesemann and yourself who claimed he
was told this personally by Hesemann.


This is a copy of my reply to Hesemann:

Michael,

Firstly,

A statement from Rebecca Schatte which I can pass on:

I understand that there is some confusion as to who claimed what concerning
Michael Hesemann and Philip Mantle having been paid a sum of $10,000. by Ray
Santilli for their work on the autopsy footage. For the record, I would like
to state that I was told that Michael and Philip were each paid $10,000 for
their work. I was told this on Saturday April 13, 1996. I have no idea if it
is true or not but I do know the person who made the claim is someone who is
close to and respected by both Philip and Michael. This person was completely
serious when he told me this (or else the claimant is a damn good actor) and
for the life of me I can not understand why this person  would make this up.
I would love to reveal the name but I will not. I'm sure that the claimant is
aware of the situation and if that person would like to speak up, this would
probably be a good time.

[End]


As you can see, I wasn't the only person who heard the story, but I knew
that in the first place.

Which will hopefully help you to realise that I had, of course, told you
nothing less than the true facts.

Why would someone who is such a close colleague of Philip and yourself,
make up such a claim?

They haven't confirmed they did make this story up and as it has resulted
in such hysteria, I think they really now have to either admit that they
did, or stick by the claim that you personally confirmed the payment of
$10,000.

If for no other reason than, by stating this story is a fabrication, you
have effectively publicly branded this close colleague of Philip and
yourself as untruthful, and worse.

This is not so good, that person has been the source of information during
the last eighteen months or so which has been taken on trust by many
people.

I do hope this isn't going to drag out until we get an explanation from
your close colleague.

I'm sure we all have better things to do.

[End]


You must know who that mutual close colleague is, that neither Rebecca or
myself want to name.

Perhaps you could exert some influence for an explanation and help put this
all to rest.


James.
