See below, Ronbo Ed. note: This letter was originally circulated on the internet in an anonymous form, and only later began to be attributed to a Mr. M. Crowley. To protect Mr. Crowley's interests, we must note that Crowley & Associates of Wake Forest, North Carolina did not in fact write this letter. This website has received the following message from Michael Crowley: From: Michael A. Crowley, PE Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 9:10 AM Subject: In reference to the “To all my valued employees” letter currently circulating the internet: This letter was forwarded to me by a colleague. While the letter may indeed be authentic, I was not the author and I do not know the identity of the original author. I forwarded it to the “John McCain Joe the Plumbers” email group prior to the election. Someone moved my contact information into the body of the message making it appear that I was the author of the letter. I would appreciate your removing my contact information prior to forwarding this message. Michael A. Crowley, PE ] and It should be noted that this letter was almost certainly not written by the real Michael Crowley, PE. Firstly, the letter says that the company was started "12 years ago." The real Mr. Crowley ought to know that, according to his own website, the company was incorporated in 2001. Secondly, the letter states, "[a]t that time, I lived in a 300 sq.ft. studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living space was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you." Of course, the real Mr. Crowley also should know, that according to his own professional summary, he went into business for himself the year before incorporating with other associates, and prior to that had held executive-level positions "with several engineering firms in North Carolina and Maine."
