The same request was then made of your friend and colleague, the SNP Deputy Leader, Nicola Sturgeon MSP, after it became patently clear (in his email response on Thursday 18 January 2007) that Mr MacAskill would not co-operate or adhere to this legitimate request. Ms Sturgeon completely ignored these subsequent requests too. Would you please see to it, as the Leader of the SNP (and potentially the next First Minister of Scotland) with the power to make things happen amongst your ranks, that these confidential, harrowing and disturbing photographs (and the relevant requested files) are returned to my family at the earliest opportunity. These photographs and files do not belong to Mr MacAskill or the SNP. They are the property of my family. I would like this matter fully resolved before the dissolution of the Holyrood Parliament at the end of March. The photographs and files requested can be sent to me by Special Delivery post (I will reimburse the SNP for the cost of postage if required) or collected from your HQ on McDonald Road I.D. or a mandate will be provided on request. Please dont make a frail 83-year-old lady, now in the winter of her life (a life which has, along with my familys, been utterly devastated by the ill-treatment, abuse and neglect of a disabled loved one), fight and beg for what is rightly her familys property not that of a politician or political party. I am currently staying with friends in the Scottish Borders, but my mail and answer machine are checked regularly. You can therefore contact me by writing to my home address or by leaving a message on my answer machine. I look forward to hearing from you (not Mr MacAskill or Ms Sturgeon) in early course. Thank you for your time and co-operation with these very serious matters. Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP Leader of the SNP House of Commons Westminster London SW1A 0AA 1 March 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP Thank you for your letter of 16 February. I apologise for this slight delay in getting back to you. You say: Firstly, to be clear on this, the SNP does not hold any of the information to which you refer. So, the photographs and files that my family request (left with former Edinburgh City Council SNP Councillor, and Mr MacAskills former PA, Rob Munn, on Friday 27 August 1999) appear to have gone missing and have just vanished into thin air. May I respectfully suggest that you search more thoroughly for these highly sensitive photographs and documents and, if they cannot be found, please give me a full and proper explanation as to where they might be and when they might have gone missing? For several justified reasons, we will not be writing to Mr MacAskill ever again and therefore request of you once more, as Leader of the SNP with overall charge of your parliamentarians, to see that this very serious matter is resolved by the end of this Scottish parliamentary session in five weeks time. If the photographs and documents left with Messrs Munn and MacAskill 7 years ago cannot be found and returned to my family, I will, as previously stated, be expecting a full and proper explanation as to what has happened to them and when they might have, apparently, just vanished into thin air. I look forward to hearing from you in early course. Thank you for your time and co-operation. Yours sincerely, Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP Leader of the SNP Constituency Office 17 Maiden Street Peterhead Aberdeenshire AB42 1EE 9 March 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP Letters from a Mr Maxwell I refer to the two recent letters of 16 February and 5 March 2007 from a Mr Mark Maxwell, your Westminster Parliamentary Assistant. I must strongly rebuke these two letters from your PA with the following six points: 1. I wrote to you (as an elected Member of Parliament and Leader of the SNP) and not to a Mr Maxwell. His letter of 5 March states: First of all, that letter [16 February] was from myself, and not Mr Salmond. I am sorry you could not find the time to reply to me personally re this very serious matter and left it to your PA to answer my formal requests instead. 2. I found the tone and content of Mr Maxwells letters very upsetting, sarcastic, insulting, unacceptable and highly objectionable. Perhaps he is the one who has clearly either misread or misunderstood my letters to him and is the one suffering from a form of confusion to quote (and underline) but two examples. Such sarcastic and insulting terminology is unbecoming of any Party Leaders Parliamentary Assistant and is most reprehensible. 3. Whilst I fully understand and accept that Mr MacAskills office takes very seriously its Data Protection requirements and duty of confidentiality to constituents, there are clearly mitigating factors in my formal request for these photographs and documents. The fact that other very concerned or third party correspondents repeatedly contacted his office over the past 2 - 3 years to raise many serious concerns about the case, is surely enough proof for you that my son was in no position to properly engage with his office any longer and, patently, never really was. Had Mr MacAskill visited the slum dwelling (in 1999) where he was literally abandoned and very badly neglected by the so-called caring Edinburgh agencies and authorities all these years ago (in 1993/4), and therefore witnessed the situation at first hand, perhaps he would have realised that himself the position and condition was clear for all to see. So, under the mitigating circumstances I cite, I do not in this instance accept the use of confidentiality under the Data Protection Act, or the usual hiding behind parliamentary privilege, for not releasing the photographs and documents I have requested from your Mr MacAskill and the SNP. 4. As I said in my last letter, I have no intentions whatsoever of contacting Mr MacAskill or his office directly, for many personal reasons I cant go into here. That is why I wrote to you as the Leader of the SNP I had hoped you might have personally intervened to have the photographs and documents returned to my family by the end of the current parliamentary session in three weeks time. It is clear (yes, it is now very clear) that you are not going to release these to me and they will remain in the possession of Mr MacAskill at his constituency office in SNP HQ on McDonald Road. So long as they remain there and dont mysteriously vanish from SNP HQ, they will have to remain in the custody of the SNP until such times as you are prepared to release them back to my family. 5. Its time for a government [and politicians] Scotland can trust is your main election slogan. Yes, Mr Salmond, it is time for that and wouldnt that be very nice indeed. But what politician or large power-hungry political party can one ever truly trust, I now wonder? 6. This matter is far from being resolved to any satisfactory conclusion, but given the very upsetting, sarcastic, dismissive and offensive tone of your Westminster PAs letters, I would be grateful if he didnt respond to me again any further letter from him will be returned (unopened) to your Westminster office by recorded post. Thank you for your time. Yours sincerely, This letter will be copied to both your Constituency Office (not Westminster) and to SNP HQ on McDonald Road to ensure you receive a copy. I will not be writing to you again there is very little point given your very dismissive approach to me. I have now said all I need to (to you) on the matter. Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 17 Maiden Street Peterhead Aberdeenshire AB42 1EE 6 September 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP I wrote to you re the above 7 months ago on 12 February, and then a further two letters on 1 and 9 March. I am writing to you once again seeking the return of the specified file documents from the SNP's Office, which for the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, are my sole property. Given the circumstances of the issues I have raised, please see my request for the return of these files, intact, is handled with the courtesy and speed my request deserves. My request for the return of these documents has to date been very poorly handled, to the point where it would appear that members of SNP staff are withholding my own property in an attempt to interdict my access to justice. I am saddened the SNP seem to have let me down badly on this very serious and unresolved matter. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course. Yours sincerely, Resent on Friday 21 September 2007 [to both his constituency and Scots parly] Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 84 North Street Inverurie Aberdeenshire AB51 4QX 27 September 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP In response to the wholly unacceptable and unsatisfactory letter to me from you PA, Stephen Smith (not from you as requested), dated Tuesday 25 September, I now enclose the original draft of my letter to you of Thursday 6 September, which I decided not to send at that point in time to see what your response would be. Please stop treating this octogenarian as if she were a complete fool who doesnt see whats going on here. I am merely asking for the property of my family (not yours, your do nothing, cover up Justice Secretarys or the SNPs) and that there is full recognition and regret by the people who were involved in the abuse and neglect of my very ill son over several years to be placed on record. Anything less amounts to theft of my property, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and a flagrant abuse of the powers and privileges the people of Scotland have given to you, your Justice Secretary and your party. I hope my position is now perfectly clear to you. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course. Yours sincerely, Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 17 Maiden Street Peterhead Aberdeenshire AB42 1EE 6 September 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP I wrote to you 7 months ago on 12 February, and then a further two letters on 1 and 9 March in response to your Westminster PA, Mr Mark Maxwell, who attempted to fob me off in his two letters of 16 February and 5 March fob offs that you obviously approved. In my last letter to you of 6 months ago on 9 March, I concluded it by saying (in point 6) that: This matter is far from being resolved to any satisfactory conclusion. The position is of course unchanged and this very serious matter, involving a case of the most heinous abuse and neglect of a very sick and vulnerable adult (my son), cannot ever be fully and properly resolved until and unless the photographs and files are returned to my family and there is full recognition of what happened to my son, and why his case was repeatedly covered up by the individuals and organisations involved in the case over several years. Again, I have absolutely no intentions whatsoever of contacting your good friend, colleague and appointed Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Kenny MacAskill, as he is clearly a man who is only interested in protecting himself and his pals in the corrupt Edinburgh establishment and covering up for those many sacred cows involved in the abuse and neglect of my son that, I regret to say, is certainly what I and many others aware of what has happened to my son believe to be the case and WAS the case from the outset, when he was first approached 8 years ago in August 1999. Frankly, the man is a disgrace and is not fit to hold the office he does. Im aware you wont like to hear this about your friend, but thats my and many others view of the man and you can either like it or lump it. Ill give you this one final chance to adhere to my legitimate request to return the photographs and files held at SNP HQ. Again, these do not belong to do nothing, cover up and self-protecting politicians whose only concern is to conceal the truth for fear of being exposed for the despicable individuals they really are. I demand they are returned to my family, as instructed in my previous letters to you. If you do not adhere to my legitimate request then your failure to do so can only be seen as theft of my property and conspiring to defeat the ends of justice. If your office fobs me off once again, you can rest assured that you will not have heard the last of this case. I therefore hope that you will now have the decency, courtesy, humanity and common sense to adhere to this formal request from a frail elderly lady (a heartbroken, devastated and distraught mother) who is outraged by what was allowed to happen to her very ill son at the very murky hands of all those who were involved in the case your Justice Secretary very much included. I look forward to hearing from you personally (not some fob off by one of your underlings) in early course. Please note that whilst I am away staying with friends in the Scottish Borders, my mail and answer machine messages are checked regularly. Thank you for your time and full co-operation with this unresolved and very serious matter. Yours sincerely, Resent Wednesday 17 October 2007 I am not going away Mr Salmond and I do not like being lied to (as per Mr Smiths letter to me of 25 September) Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 84 North Street Inverurie Aberdeenshire AB51 4QX 25 October 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP - Letter No. 8 (Since 12 February 2007) Requesting Same I refer to your two lines, twenty-two word, very insulting letter to me dated Thursday 18 October 2007. This was in response to my seventh letter to you dated Wednesday 17 October in which I told you that I refuse to go away, as much as you endeavour to fob me off as you have to date, unless and until this extremely serious matter is fully resolved. In my first letter to you dated 12 February 2007 (enclosed again as a reminder) I informed you in the first paragraph that despite formal requests for the same made to Mr MacAskill (16 January 2007), and then to Ms Sturgeon (20 and 27 January, and 3 February 2007), both refused to co-operate and did nothing to help resolve these matters Ms Sturgeon completely ignoring these formal requests. That is why I took the final step of writing to you, as Leader of the SNP, to get this despicable affair, involving the wilful and heinous neglect of a loved one over several years, sorted out and properly / impartially investigated once and for all. Sadly, but not unexpectedly, you have decided it is now in your, Mr MacAskills and Ms Sturgeons interests to continually fob me off, do absolutely nothing and protect your friends and colleagues for their inaction and wrong-doing. Par for the course with Scotlands politicians and typical of those in power who seek to further their careers at all costs even if it means covering up abuse and neglect. Quite despicable really and a clear case now of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice writ large. So, the only conclusion one can draw from this most disgusting behaviour, by those entrusted to rule Scotland with absolute probity and integrity (allegedly), is that Scotland now has a First Minister who is quite prepared to cover up years of blatant abuse and appalling neglect of a vulnerable adult; cover up for his so-called Justice Secretary who was heavily involved in the case from August 1999 (but did effectively nothing, other than protect his friends in the Edinburgh establishment who were involved in that abuse and neglect that was the case from the outset, and can be proved from the case files and other documented evidence); cover up for his Depute Leader who also did nothing but protect those involved; and, ultimately, protect himself and his partys supposed good reputation in the cover up process. As I say, a clear case now of conspiring to defeat the ends of justice and theft of my familys property as previously stated. Add to that the FACT that your PA, Stephen Smith, blatantly LIED to me (LIES that you must have approved of) in his fob off response dated Tuesday 25 September 2007 more on that with you (and / or others) later then I am left with the most depressing conclusion that Scotland has foolishly elected a government (and First Minister) who simply cannot be trusted. God help Scotlands people with you, Mr MacAskill and Ms Sturgeon in charge because they will NEVER find the truth, honesty, integrity, probity, decency, humanity, compassion, help and justice at your doors especially when you are solely concerned with your own self-serving political ambition (rather than those ordinary Scots who elected you into those positions of privilege, power and trust in the first place) and covering up for those many sacred cows in the Edinburgh and Scottish establishment you choose to sleep with. Very incestuous and sickening the whole thing really, but very much part of the rotten and corrupt culture amongst the so-called great and the good in Scottish society that you obviously approve of and seek to maintain (as evidenced by your appalling behaviour over these past 8 months). Truly disgusting Mr Salmond. Shame on you sir (and MacAskill and Sturgeon) for your quite appalling behaviour over the months and years that you have been endeavouring to cover up for the most blatant abuse and neglect of a vulnerable adult, whose only crime in his life was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time one late December night in December 1988 a night that was to alter the course of his life (into the lottery and nightmare world of NHS and local authority care or wilful neglect as the case turned out to be) forever. Such a waste of a once beautiful and loving human beings life. The case isnt going away Mr Salmond. Continue to treat me as a ranting old lady if you wish. But I merely speak the truth from the heart about this wholly avoidable tragedy, which you clearly couldnt care less about and are determined to ignore and keep buried at SNP HQ. Absolutely UNFORGIVABLE. Yet again, I sincerely hope my position and views are perfectly clear to you. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course. Yours sincerely, As with all previous letters to you, this letter will be copied to both your constituency office and the Scottish Parliament. Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 84 North Street Inverurie Aberdeenshire AB51 4QX Wednesday 21 November 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP - Letter No. 9 (Since 12 February 2007) Requesting Same I refer to your three lines letter to me dated Tuesday 30 October 2007, which I only received on Tuesday 6 November. My apologies for this delay in responding, but my health is now very poor and the stress, worry and strain that this whole despicable affair has caused me has now taken its toll on my health and has left me completely shattered and heartbroken. You could have prevented this decline in my health and lack of faith and trust in our elected leaders by doing the right, proper and decent thing in this case, but I now know you are not a man who cares about ordinary Scottish families and injustice perpetrated on them by the Scottish authorities. Your letter of 30 October was in response to my eighth letter to you dated Thursday 25 October in which I told you that I refuse to go away, as much as you endeavour to fob me off as you have to date, unless and until this extremely serious matter is fully resolved. It is now patently clear to me that you, Mr MacAskill, Ms Sturgeon and the SNP are determined to continue to withhold my familys property, which, as I have said to you, is theft. It is also abuntantly clear that from my first contact with you over 9 months ago you have been covering up for your Justice Secretary, your Depute and the SNP in general. As I said Mr Salmond, this amounts to nothing less than conspiracy to pervert the course of justice to protect your colleagues and yourself. You even went to the lengths of blatantly lying to me in your letter dated Tuesday 25 September, in which your PA, Stephen Smith, stated: Neither i, Mr Salmond, nor any of the Parliamentary staff employed by Mr Salmond have knowledge of the contents of any of these documents. LIES Mr Salmond. Blatant LIES You were sent, and acknowledged, the exact same damning documents as Ms Sturgeon was in August 2006 but she, unsurprisingly, like yourself from day one, passed the buck to the very man who had already covered up for his inaction and wrong-doing over the previous 7 years Ms Sturgeons letter of 18 August 2006 is attached. And you have all covered up for Edinburgh City Councils Chief Executive, Tom Aitchison (who I believe you are friends with too?), and many others involved in this horrendous case of abuse and neglect of a very ill and vulnerable adult over several years too. What kind of a man are you Mr Salmond? What sort of man covers up a case of the most appalling neglect and abuse of a very ill and vulnerable human being over several years? I and many others, who are aware of my correspondence with you over these past 9-plus months, are able to answer these questions without any doubt now: You are a man who will help no-one who approaches you looking for help, answers, an independent and impartial inquiry, redress, the truth and justice and you will deny, lie and cover up for your colleagues most appalling inactions and wrong-doings to protect them (and yourself ultimately) if you have to. It is time that the wider public were made fully aware of the kind of man they have foolishly elected to run Scotland with supposed honesty, probity and integrity in their name. All the complaints and allegations in my previous 8 letters to you still stand I can be as intransigent as any politician can, and in my case that intransigence is wholly justified. I see little point in you responding to this letter unless you have a change of heart over my requests to you over the past 9-plus months namely, the return of all the case file documents currently being unlawfully withheld from my family at SNP HQ and for an impartial and wholly independent inquiry into the full circumstances surrounding this appalling case, shabby care and ill-treatment by the Edinburgh and Scottish authorities over several years. If I dont hear back from you with that change of heart, then Ill know exactly where I stand with you over these very serious matters. Yet again, I sincerely hope my position and views are perfectly clear to you. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course if you have that change of heart only, and not just a couple of lines and a few words fobbing me off once again. Yours sincerely, As with all previous letters to you, this letter will be copied to both your constituency office and the Scottish Parliament. Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 84 North Street Inverurie Aberdeenshire AB51 4QX Friday 30 November 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP - Letter No.11 (Since 12 February 2007) Requesting Same I write to you today, as a follow up to my letter to you of Wednesday 21 November, for a tenth and final time since first contactiing you nearly 10 months ago on 12 February. It is clear you are determined to cover up what happened to my son (the most appalling and heinous neglect of care, abuse of power and abuse generally) to protect your friend the Justice Secretary prodominantly; your Depute Leader (who also has her hands on this case); and of course yourself, for your inactions and repeated protection of many sacred cows, which has now gone on for several unimaginable years. One really does wonder what hold MacAskill now has on you? From the outset when MacAskill was approached about this case (over 8 horrific years ago, in August 1999) he did nothing and was never going to call anyone involved to public account because of his very close links, friendships and allegiances with many of the guilty parties who neglected my son and repeatedly covered up for their wrong doing, actions and inactions. When a journalist and concerned community activist contacted him in early November 1999 (8 years ago) to raise serious concerns about how my son had been left to rot and deteriorate in that empty hovel of a flat and drug den stair over the previous 6 neglectful years (see enclosed letters that went to the Sheriff in 2004 for the background to that, which are also with the unlawfully withheld files at SNP HQ), wonders were supposed to happen: MacAskill was meant to visit the flat to see how my son had been left and neglected; the disgraced and lying director of Edinburgh City Council Social Services, Les McEwan, was to get the sack; the media were to be made aware of what had happened to my son; and there was to be an independent inquiry into the case the chronological sequence of events looking at the full circumstances, care and (ill) treatment of my son up to that point in time 11 long years after the violent unprovoked assault and 6 years since being dumped and abandoned in that hovel and wholly inappropriate hell-hole. But, as usual, it was all covered up, NOTHING WAS DONE and MacAskill took no positive action other than protect all those who were involved as I said. Absolutely dispicable and criminal behaviour by your current Cabinet Secretary for Justice, and very much his usual course of action if the many recent cases of injustice drawn to his attention are anything to go by a cover up for and protect my sacred cow friends, and to hell with injustice and all the suffering and heartache that brings to the families involved Justice Secretary. What happened over the next 5-plus horrendous years of further neglect and abuse, until the corrupt Edinburgh authorities forcibly ejected my son from that hovel, MacAskill is all too well aware of and the damning and horrific photographs and video evidence paint the picture very well for the courts and world to see if need be. I enclose another letter, from a trainee solicitor in March 1999, and would draw your attention to the comments at the bottom to give you a picture of what happened and why (this was sent to you and Ms Sturgeon in August 2006, and will be with the files buried at SNP HQ too). Again, under various laws supposedly protecting my son, there should have been an independent inquiry into what was allowed to happen to him by the Edinburgh / Scottish authorities over the previous 11-plus years existing (no better than a very sick and wild animal) in that hell-hole, and he should have been taken into a clinic or equivalent therapeutic setting to be properly medically examined, fully assessed and helped by the appropriate medical and psychological experts, but instead the authorities were determined to cover up what happened to him and dumped him into a Council approved homeless persons unit in Leith Links, which was wholly inappropriate under the circumstances I have outined above it was just a dumping ground for societys down and outs, criminals, alcoholics, drug addicts and even a paedophile as it transpired. What was allowed to happen to my son there is graphically described in the letters that went to Tom Aitchison, CEO Edinburgh City Council (which you deny even seeing), the letters to the so-called SPS Ombudsman, Alice Brown, (in the possession of MacAskill) she also covered up the case and in the 6 letters that went to MacAskill, January to June 2005. I could go on and on with this catalogue of sheer incompetence, indifference, complacency and neglect and this utter shambles and travesty that was mired in the usual Council stonewalling and bungling bureaucracy from beginning (1993) to end (2006 ) , but I am now very tired, completely heartbroken and far too distressed to continue and, frankly Mr Salmond, you sir just couldnt care a damn (other than about yourself, your Justice Secretary, your Deputy and your party). The formal request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP and for a full independent inquiry into the care and (ill) treatment of my son over all these years still stands 10 months on from my initial contact with you. Yet again, I sincerely hope my position and views are perfectly clear to you. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course only if you have that change of heart, and not just a couple of lines and a few words fobbing me off once again.

This was in response to my letter to you (No.10) dated 30 November 2007, copies of which had to be sent to you another twice (13 December 2007, No.11, and 24 January 2008, No.12) to even elicit this pass the buck, fob off response from your National Secretary pass the buck and fob off yet again. In his letter, Duncan Ross states, as you have done from the outset, that: There are no such files or photographs held by the Scottish National Party. LIES AGAIN Mr Salmond. He then goes on to tell me to contact Mr MacAskill, your supposed Justice Secretary, yet you have known from my first contact with you that I have no intentions of contacting this despicable man, who did NOTHING but cover up the most heinous neglect and abuse of my son from the first contacts with him in August 1999. Duncan Ross then ends his letter by saying that neither he, or you as Party Leader, can be of any assistance in locating any such files. So, you are unable to talk to your friend and Justice Secretary about this case; about these very harrowing, damning and incriminating case files and photographs; and you have never done so since being approached in 2006 by others, and by me last year? If you really expect me to believe that, then you really must think that this lady came up the Clyde in a Banana boat. It is now exactly one calendar year since I first wrote to you about my sons case copy enclosed yet again. In all that time I have been met, in your responses to my previous 12 letters, with nothing but self-protection, buck passing, prevarication and downright lies from you and your staff. Its got to stop Mr Salmond and I wont go away until this matter is properly, fully, compassionately, humanely and finally resolved by YOU (as Scotlands First Minister with full responsibility for your appointed Justice Secretary, your parliamentarians, your staff and your party) once and for all. I therefore repeat now : The formal request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP (currently being unlawfully withheld from my family by the SNP, and very well hidden and buried in Mr MacAskills constituency office at SNP HQ on McDonald road, right beside your Duncan Ross) and for a full and wholly impartial independent inquiry into the care, ill-treatment, neglect and abuse of my son over all these years still stands exactly one year on from my initial contact with you. Yet again, I sincerely hope my position and views are perfectly clear to you. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course and not just a couple of lines and a few words fobbing me off or more buck passing once again. Yours sincerely, As with all previous letters to you, this letter will be copied to both your constituency office and the Scottish Parliament. Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 84 North Street Inverurie Aberdeenshire AB51 4QX Thursday 6 March 2008 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP - Letter No.14 (Since 12 February 2007) Requesting Same I refer to the letter (a photo copy reply again) from your National Secretary, Dr Duncan Ross, dated Thursday 21 February 2008, received Monday 25 February. This was in response to my 13th letter to you (since 12 February 2007) dated Thursday 14 February 2008. Not only do you insult me again by refusing to personally answer my letter, but you pass the buck again to Ross who in turn insults me by sending a photo copy of his fob off letter of Friday 1 February 2008, merely changing the date to 21 February. How long does this procrastination, intransigence, criminal collusion and concealment, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and theft of my familys property have to go on for Mr Salmond? Perhaps as well as answering that question, you would be good enough to answer these questions too : 1. When you and Ms Sturgeon were contacted in August 2006 (letter dated 9 August 2006), 9 months prior to the Scottish elections in May 2007, did either you or Ms Sturgeon contact Mr MacAskill about this case and, if so, what was discussed? Furthermore, did Ms Sturgeon contact Mr MacAskill or yourself about the case when I contacted her in March 2005? I would like you to answer these questions personally and not your PA or your National Secretary, Duncan Ross, fobbing me off with another photo copy of his letter of Friday 1 February. 2. Likewise, when I wrote you on 12 February 2007 (and subsequently on 1 and 9 March 2007), 7 weeks prior to the dissolution of parliament and 3 months prior to the election itself, did you contact Mr MacAskill about this case and, if so, what was discussed? Again, I would like you to answer that question personally. The formal request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP (currently being unlawfully withheld from my family by the SNP, and very well hidden and buried in Mr MacAskills constituency office at SNP HQ on McDonald road, right beside your Duncan Ross) and for a full and wholly impartial independent inquiry into the care, ill-treatment, neglect and abuse of my son over all these years still stands 13 MONTHS ON from my initial contact with you. Yet again, I sincerely hope my position and views are perfectly clear to you. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course and not just a couple of lines and a few words fobbing me off or more buck passing once again. Yours sincerely, PS. With this letter I am enclosing my previous letters to you over the past 13 months as a stark reminder of the procrastination, intransigence, criminal collusion and concealment, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and theft of my familys property that I cite above though no such reminder is actually needed because I SPEAK THE TRUTH and YOU, Mr Salmond, know I do. As with all previous letters to you, this letter will be copied to both your constituency office and the Scottish Parliament. Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP / MSP First Minister of Scotland Constituency Office 84 North Street Inverurie Aberdeenshire AB51 4QX Thursday 20 March 2008 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP - Letter No.15 (Since 12 February 2007) Requesting Same I refer to the letter from your Office Manager, Hannah Bardell, dated Friday 7 March, which I only received last Wednesday 12 March. This was in response to my 14th letter to you over the past 13 months in which I request the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP and for a full and wholly impartial independent inquiry into the care, ill-treatment, neglect and abuse of my son over all these years the full case circumstances, event by event. I note that, yet again, you refuse to respond to me personally or answer my questions about whether you or Ms Sturgeon discussed this case with Mr MacAskill and when you talked to him about the case. I also note that Hannah Bardell ends her very dismissive response by stating: As this is Mr Salmonds constituency office, parliamentary rules dictate that we only intervene in constituency cases. Therefore, I am writing to inform you that any further correspondence to this office will not receive a response. How convenient. This is precisely what Ms Sturgeon said in her letter to me 3 years ago, on 7 April 2005. When I first wrote to you over 13 months ago on 12 February 2007 (and subsequently on 1 and 9 March 2007), 7 weeks prior to the dissolution of parliament and 3 months prior to the election itself, I was writing appealing for your help and intervention in this case as the Leader of the SNP (and potentially the next First Minister of Scotland) with the power to make things happen amongst your ranks and for this matter [to be] fully resolved before the dissolution of the Holyrood Parliament at the end of March [2007]. A reminder of my first letter to you is attached yet again. You knew fine that given my and my familys justified anger at Mr MacAskills actions and inactions in this case (from the very outset in August 1999, over 8 years ago), I had no intentions of contacting him ever again, especially after a further 6 letters appealing for his help and intervention going to his office between 19 January and 20 June 2005, and then another 7 letters between 27 March 2006 and 16 January 2007 not including the letter copied to him by Ms Sturgeon of 18 August 2006, which I have now copied to you twice. Whilst I accept that the tone of my letters to you became angry and accusatory, from my sixth letter dated 27 September 2007 onwards, I can make no apologies to you for that at this point in time especially given your continued procrastination, intransigence, criminal collusion and concealment, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and theft of my familys property. I would have continued to admire and respect you Mr Salmond had you done the right, fair, just and decent thing in this appalling case, when I first approached you over 13 months ago seeking your help and intervention. You had ample opportunity on 3 occasions prior to the dissolution of parliament at the end of March 2007 to try to help build bridges and resolve matters. Instead you decided, no doubt with the pending Scottish elections at the forefront of your mind, to just fob me off and hope the case would go away. You and / or Mr MacAskill should have taken a far more conciliatory, humane and compassionate approach to matters and called me and / or other very concerned parties into your offices at SNP HQ on McDonald Road (or into Bute House at No. 6 Charlotte Square, but a stones throw away from here just up the road) to try to discuss and resolve matters, and unreservedly apologise for what has happened at the murky hands of the many unaccountable individuals, agencies and Edinburgh / Scottish authorities involved in what was allowed to happen to my son over all these unimaginable, unbelievable, neglectful, destroyed and lost years. But it would appear that the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation just doesnt enter the vocabulary or thoughts of the two powerful men who now rule and govern Scotland with an iron fist. This very serious matter is far from being resolved to any satisfactory conclusion and my mantra remains the same as when I first contacted you over 13 months ago: The formal request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP (currently being unlawfully withheld from my family by the SNP, and very well hidden and buried in Mr MacAskills constituency office at SNP HQ on McDonald road, right beside your Duncan Ross) and for a full and wholly impartial independent inquiry into the care, ill-treatment, neglect and abuse of my son over all these years still stands OVER 13 MONTHS (and 15 letters) ON from my initial contact with you. For goodness sake Mr Salmond, please show this very frail and failing 84-year-old lady (whose life has been completely ruined by what was allowed to happen to her son) that you are the man of "Wisdom, Justice, Compassion, Integrity" I once thought you were, and not just another promise the earth Scottish politico who has let himself be corrupted by the trappings of power for the sake of myself and all fellow Scots who are currently suffering the most cruel and appalling injustices at the hands of the Scottish authorities, and a beleaguered and greatly discredited justice system. Thank you for your time and full co-operation. I look forward to hearing from you personally in early course. Yours sincerely, As with all previous letters to you, this letter will be copied to both your constituency office and the Scottish Parliament.

[Resent Wednesday 6 August 2008 cc: Kenny MacAskill MSP, Cabinet Secretary For Justice (By post to parliament and by hand to constituency office)] Private and Confidential Alex Salmond MP Leader of the SNP House of Commons Westminster London SW1A 0AA 12 February 2007 Dear Mr Salmond, Request for the return of confidential photographs and files from the SNP On Tuesday 16 January 2007 a formal request for the return of confidential photographs and files pertaining to the case of my disabled, abused and ill-treated son was made of your friend and colleague, the SNP Justice Spokesman, Kenny MacAskill MSP. The same request was then made of your friend and colleague, the SNP Deputy Leader, Nicola Sturgeon MSP, after it became patently clear (in his email response on Thursday 18 January 2007) that Mr MacAskill would not co-operate or adhere to this legitimate request. Ms Sturgeon completely ignored these subsequent requests too. Would you please see to it, as the Leader of the SNP (and potentially the next First Minister of Scotland) with the power to make things happen amongst your ranks, that these confidential, harrowing and disturbing photographs (and the relevant requested files) are returned to my family at the earliest opportunity. These photographs and files do not belong to Mr MacAskill or the SNP. They are the property of my family. I would like this matter fully resolved before the dissolution of the Holyrood Parliament at the end of March. The photographs and files requested can be sent to me by Special Delivery post (I will reimburse the SNP for the cost of postage if required) or collected from your HQ on McDonald Road I.D. or a mandate will be provided on request. Please dont make a frail 83-year-old lady, now in the winter of her life (a life which has, along with my familys, been utterly devastated by the ill-treatment, abuse and neglect of a disabled loved one), fight and beg for what is rightly her familys property not that of a politician or political party. I am currently staying with friends in the Scottish Borders, but my mail and answer machine are checked regularly. You can therefore contact me by writing to my home address or by leaving a message on my answer machine. I look forward to hearing from you (not Mr MacAskill or Ms Sturgeon) in early course.
