Honors and Awards
My greatest professional achievement
Board of the fishermen and workers Union (nown terrorists)
June 1999
It's a goodbye and farewell letter wrote and signed by the Board of Directors of the fishermen Union. This
Union's fellows were all also members in maybe the bloodiest wings of the communist party, extremists
lefties responsible for the birth, growth and aiding and supporting terrorism. Got your interest?
When I assume as CEO for a mayor fishing company I found 1500+ blue collar workers unpaid for the past
12 months, on strike for the past 6 months and the company with no cash flow even to pay for fish to produce
the derivatives.
This Worker's Union put a contract on me and for 1+ year (as many other Peruvian executives) had to be
trained in survival, carry 2 guns at all times, bodyguards, security detail, but worst of all my close ones where
also in danger of being kidnapped or worst..
Please take 2 minutes and go through this letter, to me it's my greatest professional achievement and pride, I
just found it after years lost, you'll notice the signatures of every secretary (Directors) of the Union with the
classic Russian Communist Party symbol.
The letter was delivered to me personally by members of the Board in my office and told me it had the
blessing and consent of the entire work force.
