Advice needed!!

[susandennis]

Ok, gang... Here's what I just got from John The Guy Who Owes Me...

----------------------------------
Susan,

Both Kip and I want to resolve this in a manner that is fair to you. I'd
like to get together with you next week to discuss. There is a Starbucks
close by at Union Station. How does Monday at 3:00 sound?

John
------------------------------------

Needless to say, I have zero interest in meeting with him - none. Do I have to?

(If so, we're meeting at my Starbucks and at 4 on Monday.)

Or is there a response I can send that will get me the money and avoid the meeting? If they want to resolve it in a manner that is fair to me, I would have had my money for about 5 years now so that window is shut anyway.

Here's what I'd like to say:

John,

My position is not going to change by meeting face to face over coffee. You owe me money, I've offered you a generous settlement to enable you to both pay off the debt that was due more than 4 years ago and, at the same time, avoid legal action. A meeting isn't necessary.

Susan

Too much, right? Too harsh? Please don't make me meet them for coffe.
