Heading: April 17 E-mail and April 29 Meeting

Text: On April 17, 2008, Validsa principal Gonzalez sent a letter to PSI requesting “immediately a written explanation of the situation that is set forth in this [Rosales] e-mail” and “demand[ing] an immediate response to this situation.” Kabboul agreed to meet with Gonzalez. Kabboul and Gonzalez met on April 29, 2008. They discussed the status of over 1,275 metric tons of chicken still undelivered under the November 2007 contracts and how to proceed under the March 2008 contracts. Kabboul proposed using the advance money as payment for the first $44 million in deliveries under the March 2008 contracts, then using letters of credit for the remaining deliveries. The parties could not agree on how to proceed, and Kabboul asked for a follow-up 8 meeting on May 2. Validsa agreed to this follow-up meeting, but for reasons not clear from the record, the meeting did not occur.
