MEMO LINKS MORGELLONS FOUNDATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO MISSING DONATIONS!

A newly obtained internal memo written by Mary Leitao, Executive Director of the scandal plagued Morgellons Research Foundation indicates that Ms. Leitao had full knowledge that a considerable amount of funds donated to the Foundation were unaccounted for.
The memo refers in particular to a number of missing donations made by outside parties to the tax free and non profit foundation in the years 2004 and 2005.
In reply to an urgent inquiry made to Ms Leitao by former Chairman Charles Holman for full documentation concerning the missing funds and in response to his request for an explanation of other financial irregularities, Ms Leitao states:
"This is all I have. I now realize that I did it all wrong, but admit I did not know what I was doing. I apologize but it is not the only thing I have screwed up."
A spokesman for several former members of the Foundation's Executive board have gone on record as saying that despite this admission, Ms. Leitao then failed to forward any paper documentation whatsoever concerning donations for the period of time in question.
They add that despite repeated attempts to assist the CEO of the Morgellons Foundation in reconstructing a paper trail of the missing funds, no further information or cooperation was then forthcoming from Ms. Leitao.
The Spokesman further states that the intractability of Ms. Leitao and her failure to be cooperative concerning this issue, as well as other questionable financial matters, served as the primary reason for the recent spate of resignations from the Foundation's board of directors.
"We had no clue as to where the foundation's funds had disappeared to" Says Former Chairman of the Board, Charles Holman.
"We felt we were deliberately kept in the dark as to the number and amount of donations for the year 2004."
"I was a Treasurer with no books and no records to account for" added Judy Smith, the former MRF Treasurer.
"The situation was intolerable" She continued. "The Morgellons community deserves better. They deserve accountability for their monies."
