Wednesday, maybe a half dozen or more Greenback residents received a letter from attorney, T. Scott Jones informing them that they had better stop saying mean things about Mr. Peeler or legal action would be filed against them.

According to the Jones letter, these selected people have have apparently been making defamatory statements against the now disgraced mayor.

No need me describing it to you, below is the letter typed out since the picture is hard to see. Grammatical errors included.

Dear--------

Please be advised the undersigned and the above-captioned law firm have been retained to represent the interest of Tom Peeler relative to defamatory statements that have been made either by you or attributed to you in public forums concerning allegations that are either speculative or unsubstantiated relative to his time as Mayor of Greenback.

Please be advised that if this type of conduct continues by you and you continue to make defamatory statements which you cannot substantiate with direct proof, that we will take action under the libel and slander laws to sue you civilly for defamation relative to these actions.  I trust this admonition is clear, as my client is no longer the Mayor Greenback and being vilified for your own personal pleasure is not going to be on his continued menu of preferred activities.  Trust me, I suggest you familiar yourself with the laws regarding defamation before you continue to make statements of which you do not have personal knowledge or direct fact proof in your hands.

If you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

As always I remain.

Signed by T. Scott Jones

PS: This is the only writing correspondence you will receive before suit is filed directly against you.

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. But who knows, it may get worse yet.
