Re:
Acct. # 5458 0040 4318 2227
Dear
Ms. Mathis:
I sent a letter to the Tulsa office on October 21, 2002 (not the 29th, as
stated in your letter to me of November 7th), a copy of which is attached,
asking for information regarding how Direct Merchants Bank operates and how
charges and the like are handled within its system.
My questions remain unanswered, but I have done considerable research
regarding these matters. Direct
Merchants Bank has failed or refused to answer my questions within the
stipulated time, so by its silence, Direct Merchants Bank admits, by
acquiescence, that it is doing as other banks are, namely, loaning or creating
credit on its books. If you can
prove to me that your bank actually gave me or the vendors involved something
other than an electronic entry using my charge as a deposit on your books in
order to create an electronic deposit to the vendors’ accounts (checkbook
money), then I will be willing to pay the balance due.
In addition to my original questions, I would also like you to provide
the following information: 1)
A copy of the bank charter, and 2) The
names of all of the members of the Board of Directors.
I am in possession of a booklet published by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago called “Modern Money Mechanics,” which describes who creates money.
The Court decision in First National Bank of Montgomery v. Jerome Daly
(1968 Minn. Case; jury reached its verdict Dec. 7, 1968
Local case; did not go to appeal or Supreme Court Cite not found.) prohibits
banks from creating money and credit upon their own books by means of
bookkeeping entries. It is my
belief that this is what you are doing and that this is fraud.
I will not be a party to this fraud.
Please respond within ten (10) days from receipt of this letter with all
of the information I have requested. If
you fail to answer, rebut or refute, with particularity, the questions and
statements in this letter, I will consider my account with you closed and this
matter settled. Please take care to
sign any further correspondence under
penalty of perjury and send it only to the address exactly as it appears
above. Thank you in advance for
your cooperation.
Sincerely,
