Did not write letter

Dear Editor,
I received a call from Steve Merai in reference to a letter written in your newspaper (‘Steve Merai took head on the most dangerous, ruthless criminals’ Sunday Stabroek 4.1.09). I told him I did not do so. I went to your website and saw what was happening. You have no right to publish any data without my signature.

I have no need to write anything about Steve anyway. Please correct your mistake. I will contact a Guyanese lawyer to help with this offensive problem.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Merai

Editor’s note
The letter about Steve Merai came in the form of a comment which was posted on our website, and we had no reason to believe it was not genuine.
The IP addresses both on this letter and the one published in our edition of January 4 are the same.
