May 16, 2014 4:33 - Charles Lincoln to Michael Mastoris

Mastoris received this letter just days after he had, again, paid Charles even though Charles had lost their lawsuit and he had had to hire a real attorney.

Subject: Trespass Warning---I have changed the locks at xxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxx---you may not change the locks again, or otherwise approach the property without trespassing---this is your first and will be your last warning

Dear Dr. Michael N. Mastoris 
(*and his attorney Mr. Barry Frost) and Ms. Candace Ann Kennedy (Diane Turton/Marlene Mango)(Realtors):

           First let me apologize for the necessary formality and cold stiffness of this letter.  My five year long relationship with Dr. Mastoris, up until recently, had been most amicable and cordial, even if progressively less and less profitable.  But this letter is a:

Trespass Warning---I have changed the locks at xxx  xxxxxxxxxxx---you may not change the locks again, or otherwise approach the property without trespassing---this is your first and will be your last warning.

           Thursday afternoon, 15 May 2014, I changed the locks at xxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a New Jersey licensed locksmith: Mr. Keys, Inc., Justin Del Corpo 353 Herbertsville Road, Brick, New Jersey 08724, New Jersey Business License 34LX00006400.  I showed him my original warranty deed (December 2009) registered with and blue stamped by the Ocean County Clerk and my California ID.  I also briefly spoke to a couple of the neighbors and a representative of the New Jersey gas company, who said he was unwilling to turn on the pool-heater due to rust.

            The listing with Candace Kennedy (Diane Turton Realtors---Brick, Marlene Mango Group) on or about May 1, 2014, was signed and entered without my knowledge or consent, and I am the title owner of the property.  The apparent purpose of agreement to market the property as a vacation rental was to defeat my rights and interfere with my responsibilities.  I suggest that the agreements, of which I have copies, with Diane Turton Realtors in Brick and Marlene Mango are null and void as they were signed by Michael N. Mastoris who lacks legal capacity over the property.

            There are less formal ways of expressing what Michael's apparent intent in excluding me from this process probably was, but I shall eschew vulgarities.   Michael has already expressed an intention to "short" not only me, but also the licensed attorney whom I hired to advance his very difficult cause, xxxxx, who filed dozens of pleadings and motions in two cases in U.S. District Court, on my own and Michael's behalf, jointly, but whom Michael now has said, is not entitled to a penny.  

             Michael also refuses to pay the Westlaw bill incurred on his behalf between July 2013 and February 2014.  Michael's refusals to pay as promised or even to guarantee payment in the future has caused unending problems for me since January 2014, although I still have Michael's voice mail from January where he expressly agreed to dedicate the xxxxx  xxxxxxxxxxxxxx House in Curtis Point, Mantoloking  to the advancement of his other cases, which had to be abandoned due to lack of funds, which Mantoloking could apparently produce.  And in regard to me, well, Michael obviously has chosen to marginalize me from all aspects of his ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, in whole or in part at the urging, I believe, of Mr. Barry Frost.

             I do not wish to be forced to communicate this change of management and trespass warning to the local law enforcement authorities, but I am hereby warning all of you (and your employees, associates, agents, and assignees) to stay away from xxxx  xxxxxxxx except and unless at my express and written invitation.  I do promise you all that I will NOT call the Township Police or the Ocean County Sheriff unless you absolutely force me to do so.  Michael Mastoris and his attorney Barry Frost are both well aware of my title ownership and my disagreement with Michael about the proper management of the property and the advance of the litigation which I had arranged to be undertaken by xxxxxxxx on his behalf.

              I will rent the property through my own associates and will continue to do all that I can to assist Dr. Michael N. Mastoris, should he wish to continue to receive my assistance.

              Should Michael wish to revoke the power of attorney which he granted me in December of 2009, he is certainly free to do so at any time, but his revocation of the power of attorney will in no way alter or reverse the warranty deed he simultaneously granted and recorded to xxxx   xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, or the irrevocable Assignment of Rights which he also simultaneously signed.  The sole purpose of the revocation of the power of attorney would be, in my view, to acknowledge that a conflict of interest has arisen between Dr. Michael N. Mastoris and myself which, unless resolved, interferes with our historic (and I do mean long term and successfully historic) cooperation ever since November 2009.  I have concluded that taking possession of the property is the only possible solution.  I cannot see that it would be advantageous for any of us to fight about this in any forum---the issues are too clear and the passage of time too profound, and our previous success too solid.

              If Michael wishes to terminate any or all of the utilities, he should notify me and scan and forward the last bills to me here at this e-mail.

              I am currently visiting in New York City and would be available for face-to-face meetings to discuss any of these matters.
              
              Once again, the sole official purpose of this letter is to issue a Trespass Warning to Dr. Michael N. Mastoris and all his employees, associates, agents, and assignees of any kind not to interfere further with my management of xxxxx  xxxxxxxxx, Curtis Point, Mantoloking, Brick Township, Ocean County, New Jersey 08738, and to cancel the rental listing with the realtors.   Personal property needed can be delivered directly to Dr. Mastoris' home at 24 Hluchy in Upper Freehold Township, Robbinsville, New Jersey or to any other address as he may request or direct in writing, sent by scanned signed letter via e-mail to this address.   But do NOT change the locks again, or try to take any further action in relationship to the house.  I notice that in previous years, when Michael was collecting the summer rent, he did not pay the property taxes, and there are now several tax liens on the property.  Totally aside from his breach of his agreement with me, this is not good property management or in Michael's best interests.  

              In closing, I would simply like to say that I am a Christian and I know Dr. Michael N. Mastoris to be one as well.  I hope that, as the Lord has commanded us to do, we can settle our disputes amicably and resume our friendship and cooperation in love and mutual harmony, for mutual benefit.

Matthew 10:34-39
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
