Complaint Review: Dr. Tongie Scott

 After careful consideration, I've decided to finally answer you, Ms. M.M.  First, I think it's most important that you know that I forgive you.  Initially when I saw this, I couldn't believe that you would do this...but I'm realizing now that you had your reasons and although I'm not sure why, it's ok.  I will, however, not use this forum to bash you.  It's not warranted and it's not the "right thing" to do.  Our meetings in your home were quite beneficial.  I gleaned from you how to have a positive attitude...No Matter What.  And for that...I'm grateful.  The Business Agreement we entered into was supposed to make a difference in so many lives.  I did not, nor have I ever, misrepresented myself to you, nor the person who initially introduced us.  I will suggest to you that the "Working Agreement" was outlined in accordance with projections that we perceived to be warranted and highly probable. I know that business is an entity that can fail, but with hardwork and perseverance and of course, faith, all things are possible. 

Let me be clear...when our Agreement was entered into several years ago, you were made aware the purpose of such an arrangement.  As I mentioned previously, our intent was to provide services to those who were underserved and under-represented.  We suffered some major set backs, but we didn't quit.  The challenges that were experienced would have ultimately made even the fiercest of business leaders throw in the towel.  I admit to you that the many phone calls you made to me to encourage me not to give up were really really needed.  Again...thank you for being a "friend".  But Ms. M.M. to blatantly say that I stole your credit...I will not be guilty of that.  Your accusations are not true.  Again...I forgive you.

In closing, my love for God, through Jesus the Christ, is real.  I make no apologies for that.  Once again, you and I both spoke on His Love for us and our responsibility to live the life of a Kingdom Citizen.  It's unfortunate that some of the decisions that were made by both of us were not the best; but I did not, nor have I ever used my relationship with Him to "rip off" you or anyone for that matter.  In business, safe guards are put in place to make sure "hiccups" are not caused nor suffered by anyone.  Our Working Agreement did not meet the projections....for that I apologize.  Nevertheless, the lessons I learned from you, meeting with you in your home and you in mine, stories shared about your childhood and mine...will never be forgotten.  I appreciate you, M. M. and I share in the responsibility for our failed attempts to make life better for those who needed us. 

Sincerely,

Tongie
