It is unfortuna e I need to bring this matter to your attention but both Mayor Rita Mullins and I felt It necessary since the following has caused Irreversible damage to SALr.

Several months ago we contacted Robert Half Technology, a temporary IT employment agency, to subcontract technicians for our compuler and web site needs after the death of our IT Director. December 2005, Robert Half subcontracted Annabel Melongo to provide programming, network support and maintain our hard and software. From the beginnIng Ms. Melongo had difficulty working with fellow employees. b\lt we disregarded In lieu of her computer skills. March 27th, 2006 Robert Half terminated Melongo as their contractor and since Melongo was in the midst oia important project we retained her full time. Her malevolens towards colleagues intensified until April 27th when Vince Davis, Director of Militart Affairs, felt it necessart to terminate Ms. Melongo from SALF.

As a standard termination policy, Mr. Davis accompanied Ms. Melongo while she collected her belongings, verified our computer passwords and exit her to the dOOf. Since Ms. Melongo had knowledge to all our passwords our Web Designer Mr. Christian Sass immediately changed as many passwords he knew to secure entry into our computer system from the outside, but failed to remember our DSL line and web/emails sites.

The following morning, Friday April 26th. our employees were unable to access their computer files. With further investigation we uncovered that all our files, data bases, etc., had been deleted. Throughout the day Ms. Melango came to the office, totall~ three times, and phoned, totaling four times, wanting to see only me. From Friday through Sunday morning Mr. Davis and outside vendors True Consulting and Critical Technology Solutions worked continually to recover the missing computer flies unsuccessfully.

May 2nd, several employees alerted me that they received a disturbing e-mail from Ms. Melongo. Her e-mail indicated she was responding to an emailed I sent to Brian Salerno, Pres. True Consulting that had been fOlWard to her. May 4th we contacted our web and a-mail provider. WebHSP in Colorado, who was able 10 foot print Ms. Melongo's actions from entry into SALF's e-mail system through Snallmall by using my password, retrieve and forward two of my personal emaHs to her account and then e-mail back to several of our employees with a personal message (see attached).

May 5th we filed a complaint with the Schiller Park Police Department # 06.3219 of which Officer Marrazzo stated he would fOlWard to their Detectives.

This afternoon I and my staff received another lengthy e-mail from Ms. Melongo. Apparently she is not satisfied with our lack of response. Ms. Melonga Is not a U.S. Citizen but has a student Visa from Cameroon Africa and lives in Palatine which all concerns Mayor Mullins.

We WQ d appreciate your advise in this sensitive matter.
