Our Ref EB 4/6/17 dated 4/6/17
Sir
Regarding the matter of Mr E Buttcuss.
NB For both our sakes, I will endeavour not to slip into technical jargon in this correspondence.
After repeated communications I regretfully have to inform you that my client, one Egbert Buttcuss Esq, has instructed me to offer you one chance to both settle the account attached, and to consider the further matters I’ll come to shortly.
As your office is perfectly well aware, the electricity Mr Buttcuss has supplied satisfies all of your renewable non fossil fuel criteria. We are also all aware that the contract established last year for approximately 25 kw of solar and wind generated supply does not, I repeat does not, preclude my client from feeding energy into the system from other renewable sources. And I must respectfully draw to your attention that it doesn’t specifically set an upper limit to such a supply.
Despite all your protestations, the large capacity connection installed, and left behind, after your company sited an emergency temporary battery storage unit on my clients farm last year is now his property. I think you’ll find he has full title to (quoting your own contract) ‘any such materials left on the property at the termination of the contract period’. Nor, we contest, was it illegal or immoral for my client to have obtained the industrial metering equipment from one Albert Arbuckle, metal recycler. That it came from your own dismantled defunct coal fired power station nearby is, I’m afraid, irrelevant. Nothing in the paperwork forbids this, nor does it prevent him using his suitably qualified cousin to connect these devices.
The matter of his obtaining leave to hook them up the conductor on the church tower is between him and the local diocese. And to save your time and effort arguing the point, as indicated we have ascertained that, yes, lightning strikes are indeed ‘renewable’, and cannot be deemed to be ‘fossil fuels’ (Henderson et al 1997).
The fact that your equipment further ‘down the line’ couldn’t handle the resulting generous supply, recorded faithfully on the aforementioned meter, is hardly my clients responsibility, nor is it his problem that it wasn’t so-called ‘alternating current’. We feel you should provide more robust hardware and infrastructure, should you wish to purchase electricity from such an unstinting supplier, and perchance might have been more specific in your contract.
No-one has reasonably proved the fires and exploding substations were related to my clients supply.
The above notwithstanding, we can clearly show that, on the evening of the 12th of April, my client supplied you with 37 terrajoules of the finest renewable energy, for 2.3 seconds, and just before the following dawn, a further 17 terrajoules for 3.5 seconds. Together, under the terms of his contract with yourselves, these represent supply worth £16,727.43p -as detailed on the attached account in appendix A.
In addition to this bill, my client has some further proposals.
Given that records indicate that this conductor is, on average, struck four times per annum, and that my clients contract has another 23 years to run, we are proposing an arrangement. My client will relinquish his contract and surrender his equipment for the modest sum of £75,000, plus my usual 10% expenses I’m afraid.
Furthermore, I should advise that my client has lately returned from a fact finding tour of 29 ‘County Halls’, several Church record centres, and the Met Office archive, as well as having made discreet within the wider farming community. He has thus far identified no fewer than 127 farmers and land managers theoretically in a similar position to that in which he lately finds himself. Included in the number are several with former industrial structures –see attached appendix B- which both geographic prominence, and grid connections, which could lead to significantly greater earning potential.
My client hereby offers to surrender the information he has drawn up, cease further enquiries of a like nature, and enter into a confidentiality and media blackout agreement, in return for a further £750,000 (again, plus my modest 10%), paid directly into the numbered accounts with Banke de Zurich indicated on the draft contract. (attached appendix C).
I do hope you can swiftly progress the matter, and we eagerly await both your settlement of the current account –no pun intended-, and your prompt consideration of further contractual arrangements. We must respectfully ask that matters be concluded by the first day of next month.
Yours
Earnest Grasper
