With reference to those rules in particular, and your general obligations to administer Premier League clubs, we would like to know if you have demanded or received the following information.
1. Has Mill Financial acquired (directly or indirectly) voting rights at any shareholders' meeting of any of Gillett Football, Kop Delaware LLC, Kop Cayman, Kop Football Holdings Ltd, Kop Football Ltd, or Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Ltd?

6. From which date did they acquire these rights, in each case?
7. Has Mill Financial acquired (directly or indirectly) the right to require George Gillett junior to vote as Mill instructs him at any directors' meeting of any of Gillett Football, Kop Delaware LLC, Kop Cayman, Kop Football Holdings Ltd, Kop Football Ltd, or Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Ltd?
8. If so, what is the nature and extent of those rights, in each case?
9. From which date did they acquire these rights, in each case?
10. Is George Gillett junior undergoing any form of bankruptcy proceedings in any jurisdiction in the world, and/or are any of his relevant companies subject to formal insolvency procedures in any jurisdiction in the world?
11. If so, what are the full details, and when did that action commence?
12. If so, then will George Gillett junior be disqualified, under PL rules, from acting as a director of Liverpool Football Club and/or any of its parent companies, and from which date will that take effect. Has any notice already been served upon him or the club?
We firmly believe that, if you have any of the information above, then we, as fans of LFC, are entitled to be given copies, and we would urge you to publish the information on your website and release it to the media.
Even if, contrary to our belief, you maintain that the actual full details of the information that you have received should be private, then please answer the following questions at least.

Twit & Tw@ts lawyer.
Benjamin Richard Civiletti served as U.S. attorney general from 1979 to 1981 under President Jimmy Carter. His leadership helped the Justice Department regain public credibility in the years following the Watergate scandal.
Civiletti was born July 17, 1935, in Peekskill, New York. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1957 and a law degree from the University of Maryland in 1961. He served from 1961 to 1962 as clerk to William Calvin Chesnut, a U.S. district judge for Maryland. From 1962 to 1964, he worked as assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore.
Civiletti then turned to private practice with the prestigious Baltimore law firm of Venable, Baetjer, and Howard. His skill as a trial attorney enabled him to rise quickly in the firm. He became a partner in 1969 and headed the litigation department two years later. He also became highly active on various professional committees in Baltimore and Maryland, including the Character Committee of the Court of Appeals of Maryland (1970-76), the Mayor's Commission to Investigate Baltimore City Jails (1972-73), the Judiciary Committee of the Bar Association of Baltimore (1972-75), and the Maryland state legislature's Task Force on Crime (1975-76).
Civiletti's reputation as an outstanding lawyer and civic leader attracted the notice of officials in President Carter's administration. In 1977, the Carter administration appointed Civiletti assistant attorney general in charge of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. He oversaw a number of sensitive cases in the Criminal Division, including the investigation of Bert Lance, a friend of Carter's who resigned as director of the Office of Management and Budget in September 1977 after being questioned by the Senate about alleged violations of banking laws. Civiletti also dealt with a scandal involving alleged attempts by South Korean government officials to buy influence from members of Congress and from other U.S. government officials.
In late 1977, the Carter administration nominated Civiletti as deputy attorney general. He was finally appointed to the post in January 1978. As deputy attorney general, Civiletti received widespread praise for his coordination of an interagency campaign against white-collar crime.
Civiletti's rapid rise through the ranks of the Justice Department culminated in his appointment in 1979 as U.S. attorney general. His appointment came after President Carter requested the resignation of top cabinet officials in an attempt to improve the functioning of his administration. The previous attorney general, Griffin B. Bell, had strongly recommended Civiletti to be his replacement. The Senate approved Civiletti's appointment on August 1, 1979, by a vote of 94-1.
As attorney general, Civiletti continued policies initiated by Bell: a restructuring of the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation so that it might better investigate white-collar crime; recodification of criminal law statutes; increased pursuit of antitrust cases; and improvement of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. In addition, Civiletti continued his earlier work to improve cooperation between different law enforcement divisions of the federal government.
Civiletti was also forced to respond to international events during his tenure as attorney general. After U.S. citizens were seized at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, Civiletti directed the Justice Department's efforts to deport Iranians who had entered the United States illegally. Civiletti also traveled to the International Court of Justice at The Hague, and persuaded its judges to rule in favor of the United States and denounce the Iranian capture of the U.S. embassy.
After Ronald Reagan took office as president in 1981, Civiletti returned to private practice, where he has represented corporations in such areas of the law as products liability, white-collar crime, government regulation, and health care.
Civiletti founded the Maryland Legal Services Corporation and was the original director of the National Institute against Prejudice and Violence. In 1992, he became the director and vice president of the American Judicature Society, and in 1993, he was named chairman of the Maryland Governor's Commission on Welfare Policy. Civiletti has served as a trustee of Johns Hopkins University and has received honorary doctorates of law from the University of Baltimore, Tulane University, Saint John's University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Maryland.
