Tombong,
Let Cheyassin himself deny writing the e-mail afterall he is a lawyer,
and he will be online or is already on line. What you can't deny is the
author of the e-mail in question is familiar what the issue.

The email address q [log in to unmask] does not belong to Pap Cheyassin Secka
or is this from anyimaginary Pap Cheyassin Secka just as your sources are
imaginary?
Ebrima's sources so far have been on the mark. His sources are detrimental
to you and your boss so it makes sense for you to try
to discredit them. The only question that you need to ask is for Yahya
Jammeh, and you know what that question is. Till you muster the courage
to ask that question, save us your propaganda.
