Editor,

I am amused by lawyer Nic Fisher's letter to Mr Sione Fonua in relation to the proposed sale of 'Atalanga. The letter contained some elements of intimidation that made us Tongans laugh rather than fear. Even our Tongan kids in the elementary school found Mr Fisher's warning to be very entertaining and laughable.

I wish to ask Mr Fisher to please do your homework and provide some facts to ground your footing. Don't just wake up and try to make a fortune out of the poorest of the poor who in their own constitutional rights challenge your client. I, among others, would take you on all the way and don't think that this is a free home run for your firm.
