Dear Prime Minister,
A copy of a letter with your signature is published at
http://hovercraft.it/UKPM.pdf
on the web site of Hi Tech International S.r.l. (HTI) of Gorgonzola, Italy. Given the
widespread knowledge of HTI’s unlawful business practices, I am writing to ask
if you might kindly verify that this letter to Carlo Guido Passoni, the father of Matteo
Passoni of HTI is, in fact, authentic.
As founder and President of the World Hovercraft Organization, as well as of Neoteric
Hovercraft, Inc. USA, the world's original light hovercraft manufacturer, I am obliged
to disclose to you information regarding HTI that may have great bearing on your
decision to associate your office with this company and to utilize HTI rescue hovercraft
in the United Kingdom.
Please find attached the cover letter to a complaint against HTI that my company has
filed with Autoritá Garante Della Concorrenza e Del Mercato in Rome, Italy. This
represents just one of the complaints against HTI that have been filed with this agency
by hovercraft manufacturers.
Our cover letter was accompanied by more than 100 pages of documentation of the
unlawful offenses that have been committed by HTI since Matteo Passoni became a Neoteric
Hovercraft dealer in October 2001, then commenced an unrelenting history of offenses,
including industrial and economic espionage; theft of technology and trade secrets;
and intellectual property infringement.
Our primary concern, however, is the safety of the HTI hovercraft recently purchased
by the Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service. There is unanimous concern within the
global hovercraft manufacturing industry that HTI is threatening consumer safety by
marketing rescue vehicles with no track record, while fraudulently representing them as
having the decades-long, tested and proven history of Neoteric Hovercraft.
Gloucestershire is not only receiving stolen property, it is purchasing public rescue
vehicles of questionable safety that may endanger the public rather than protect it.
Even more seriously, the Gloucestershire hovercraft may endanger the lives of
rescuers. To substantiate this concern, even after their offenses against my company,
HTI urgently solicited my assistance to solve the problems they created with their
imitations of our patented hovercraft technology - grave problems such as exploding
fans. This particular hazard resulted from HTI's installation of a 145hp engine in a
hovercraft that is not designed to carry an engine of that power. A fan exploding
from a 145hp engine is a life-threatening incident.
To ensure that you receive this information, I have taken the liberty of both
faxing and mailing it to your attention, and we eagerly anticipate your response.
Please know that I am at your disposal to provide any assistance or information you
might need to allow you to reach an informed decision about your continued association
with Hi Tech International S.r.l. and the employment of their product in the United
Kingdom.
Kind Regards,
Chris Fitzgerald
